How to Be Safe Online: A Guide for Children.

Staying safe online is like being a superhero for your own computer and personal information. Just follow these simple rules!

Key Rules to Remember:

• Look for the Lock: Before you type any information, check the address bar for a little lock symbol (🔒) and make sure the website address starts with "https://". This means it's a safe, locked site.

• Create Super Passwords: Make your password like a secret superhero phrase. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Never share your password with anyone except your parents or guardian.

• Don't Talk to Strangers: Just like in the real world, don't talk to people you don't know online. Never share your name, address, school, or phone number with strangers on the internet.

• Think Before You Click: If you see a pop-up ad or a link in an email that looks exciting or says "Click here to win!", don't click it! It could be a trick. Always ask an adult first.

• Be Kind Online: Always use kind words when typing messages or playing games. If you see someone being cyberbullied, tell a trusted adult.

• Ask for Help: If you ever see something online that makes you feel confused, scared, or uncomfortable, immediately close the screen and tell a parent, teacher, or another adult you trust.
