Intrusion prevention (IP) Tips
Teaching children about intrusion prevention is important to help them stay safe and develop good online habits. Here are ten tips to help children protect themselves from online intrusions and potential dangers:
1. Online Privacy: keep personal information, like full name, address, phone number, and school name, private. Share such details only with trusted individuals.
2. Strong Passwords:create strong and unique passwords for your accounts. Do not share your passwords with anyone except trusted adults.
3. Social Media Safety: do noth share too much personal information online. Set your profiles to private and to be selective about who you accept as friends or followers.
4. Cyberbullying Awareness: openly communicate with your parents or trusted adults about any negative online experiences.
5. Online Friendships: Not everyone you meet online is who they claim to be. Only interact with people you know in real life and never meet online friends in person without a trusted adult's supervision.
6. Recognizing Scams: Do not click on suspicious links or share personal information in response to unsolicited messages.
7. Location Sharing: Ensure that location services are turned off or limited for social media apps to prevent the inadvertent sharing of their real-time location.
8. Safe Downloading: Do not download files or apps from untrusted sources. Use trusted app stores, and seek for parental permission for any downloads.
9. Reporting Concerns: report any inappropriate or suspicious online behavior to a trusted adult, like a parent or teacher.
10. Screen Time Management: strike a balance between screen time and other activities. Learn to take breaks, interact with friends and family in person, and engage in offline hobbies.
