The internet offers amazing opportunities for children to learn, connect, and play—but it also comes with serious risks, from cyberbullying and scams to grooming and privacy breaches. As children spend more time online, it’s crucial that parents and carers help them develop safe and responsible digital habits.
ExpressVPN has created a clear and practical guide with 10 rules every family should follow. These include teaching children about their digital footprint, setting strong passwords, spotting online scams, guarding personal information, and using tools like parental controls, security software, and even VPNs to add layers of protection. It also highlights the importance of talking openly about strangers online, checking social media privacy settings together, and setting healthy screen time limits to balance online and offline life.
This is a great starting point for any parent who wants to protect their child’s safety while still allowing them to enjoy the benefits of the online world.
