🌐 June Is Internet Safety Awareness Month!

The internet offers incredible opportunities for learning, connection, and creativity—but it also comes with risks, especially for children and teens.

Did you know that children may encounter cyberbullying, unsafe websites and apps, online predators, or be tempted to share personal information with strangers? That's why internet safety starts with awareness, education, and open conversations.

Here are four simple ways to help keep children safe online:
✅ Set Boundaries – Create clear expectations around screen time, websites, apps, and online behavior.
✅ Use Parental Controls – Take advantage of device and network settings to filter content and monitor usage.
✅ Keep Communication Open – Encourage children to talk to a trusted adult if they experience cyberbullying or uncomfortable online interactions.
✅ Protect Personal Information – Remind children never to share their name, address, school, passwords, or photos with people they don't know.

The best defense against online dangers is education and prevention. By working together, we can help children navigate the digital world safely and confidently.

Let's create a safer online environment for every child.
