Just like building personal hygiene early on is essential, it’s also vital for children to learn cyber hygiene. Since children spend 4-6 hours online per day, they need to know early on how to stay safe online.

As a parent, you’ve probably taught your child to wash their hands, brush and floss their teeth, cover their mouth when they cough, and shower regularly. These are all important habits for creating a solid foundation of personal hygiene

While you may not think about your child being under cyber-attack, anyone using a tablet, mobile phone, laptop, computer, or gaming console is susceptible. From identity theft and cyber-bullying to malware and ransomware, children can encounter many different cyber threats. So, learning the basics of cyber hygiene is critical for the whole family.
