5 Hacks to Help Teen Online Safety

Their Answer:  check online.  (see the podcast above for details)

Our life is an open book and anyone it seems can read it.  There are, of course, so many good things that come of online and social media.  But more time than we'd like to admit - it can trip us up.

Online Safety Has Many Concerns to watch for:

• safety from "the bad guys"
• safety from hurting others and from being hurt
• safety from achieving our life's goals
• and more

So what's a parent to do for our kids?

This topic is a forever changing topic.  But YES, there are safety moves we can take ourselves and we can help our teens with, too.  What a great lifetime habit to get them started on.  

In this podcast (above) you will learn 5 techniques to get you started on your safety journey.  Learn:

1. the "All Rights Reserved Concept" and how to execute it
2. the "until the 12th of Never" and how to overcome it
3. the "Privacy Key"
4. One super easy way to get the "bad guys" to pass on their computer
5. the "Information String"

But don't stop listening until the end.  It's only about a 9 minute podcast, but the best take away is toward the end:  Build a Paper Profile.  It can change your teen's thinking on nearly everything they say/do online.  

I know this topic is just daunting.  But the small steps you take now just might save heartache and safety later.  It's one of those parent moves that you'll have to count the payoff as *not* having something bad happen.  

So grab your sweet "nearly grown" child and set up a date to get started on making life safer for the both of you!
