HELP! I Want to Shield my Child from EVERYTHING!
1 Lesson -
Research indicates that 1 in 5 children will not tell a parent if they encounter something negative online for fear of being disciplined. Children often hide things that could very well keep them from being bullied, stalked, or worse - kidnapped and trafficked. They would rather try to figure it out on their own than tell a parent and risk getting their only constant connection to their friends taken away.
The Cyber-Safe Survival Guide exists to give you (the parent, guardian, relative or concerned adult) the knowledge and tools you need to navigate this digital age with the children in your life. Digital is not going away at all - and it is actually going to get even more advanced, making it even more dangerous for people who do not know what to look for!
Join me as I empower you to take necessary actions to keep the children you love safe from online predators, cyberbullying, exposing personal information and so much more!
Here's what you'll learn:
• Pros and cons of childhood smartphone use. Phones are a basic necessity for a lot of families. If you are in the process of deciding whether or not it's time to let your child(ren) have a smartphone, the pros and cons should help you make an informed decision.
• Pros and cons of online gameplay. Online gameplay is the new "hanging out with friends", and it's not going anywhere. The global gaming industry is worth 152 BILLION dollars. Gaming is here to stay, and I want to make sure you know how to keep your child(ren) safe in gameplay, in chat rooms and on the servers people will invite your child(ren) to while playing.
• An inside scoop on the most popular apps your child may be using. Although I'm sure you know a lot about phones and apps, I want to make sure you know what really goes on and how to protect your child(ren) and yourself from exposure to the wrong people and things.
• What your child's phone may be hiding... and how to find it. Children are very good at learning how to hide things - mainly because they do not want to get in trouble with you or exposed by a "frenemy". I will show you what they hide, how to find it, and how to educate them about privacy and boundaries when it comes to their phone and its contents.
• How online predators find out where you live, work and play... and where your children go to school. Send me a certain type of message, and I can tell you where you live, who you are related to, and possibly where you work. I'll show you how when you sign up, and I'll also show you how to make sure it doesn't happen when your child sends these types of messages!
• How to secure your child's device and mobile online activity. Whether you have an iOS device or an Android, I will show you everything you need to know about securing your devices - not just for your child(ren), but for your whole family and village!
• The five most important conversations you can have with your child regarding online safety. This is the most important section, because everything else means very little if you don't know what you should be talking about in relationship with your child(ren). Relationship is paramount when it comes to keeping children safe.
•There is so much more... You'll have to hop inside the experience to get it!
