The Internet is a wonderful resource for kids. But like all tools, we need to teach our children how to use it wisely. To help protect them, consider setting some basic ground rules. Here are a few that we recommend sharing with your kids:

• Never give out your personal information online such as name, home address, school name, or telephone number.
• Don't share your location on social media. For example, don't post "Going to soccer game at school."
• Only communicate with people you know personally. People online may not be who they say they are.
• Tell Mom & Dad right away if you read anything on the Internet that makes you feel uncomfortable.
