Smart Home: BitDefender’s Downloadable Guide to Protecting Children Online

As a mom, I fear what’s lurking out there when children and teens use the internet.  We, Smart Mamas, need to be watchful for our children, just like when we bring them to the park and are carfeful that they are always safe. We teach them not to talk to strangers, and how to handle bullies and more.  Now, we need to teach them proper behavior at the “online” playground, the Internet.  I’m sharing a great piece by BitMoms.com, including access to a superb guide that provides excellent information on ways to protect our children online.

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to join BitMoms.com. Leticia, Chief Bit Mom, shared information on this community in June.  I continue to strongly recommend it for all Smart Mamas who are interested in staying on top of the latest information regarding Internet safety for our children.  Who isn’t? We all should be! When you join, be sure to “friend” me and leave a note on my page!

The prevalence of computers in our daily lives means that our children are exposed to them at a very early age.  Our kids watch our every move, including those online, and want to emulate the behavior they see.  Regardless of the many benefits that constant internet access brings, the online world remains a risky place for kids.

BitDefender’s new Protecting Children Online guide is a downloadable PDF that’s designed to be shared with friends, family members, and community groups to spread the word about online safety.

Protecting Children Online provides an overview of the risks and dangers kids can be subjected to on the internet and e-threats designed to target personal data.  It also contains tips for children, teens, parents, and teachers with practical advice and easy to implement solutions that can assist you in protecting your family online.

This printable guide that can be emailed, printed, and shared with friends and loved ones alike in order to keep everyone safe in cyberspace.
