8 to 10 Years Old - Safety Tips

1. Never give out any personal information, such as your address, phone number, password or photograph, without your parents’ permission.

2. Talk to your parents if you ever feel uncomfortable with what you see on the Internet or if anyone is bothering you online.

3. Be polite and respectful of others online. Don’t use bad language, even as a joke (others may not know you’re kidding).

4. Get your parents’ permission before filling out forms for any contests, free stuff or online services. It’s like giving your information to strangers on the street and you never know who will see it.

5. Tell your parents about the people you meet online, just like you tell them about the friends you make at school. Your parents can help you deal with problems you may run into.
