I was really impressed after watching a documentary that highlighted a school's proactive efforts to educate children about #DataPrivacy and #consent. This is specially important today, with #SocialMedia platforms consuming so much of children's time. Teaching #children about fundamental #OnlineSafety and #privacy is crucial. Giving them the key knowledge to protect themselves and make smart choices. From the consent to keeping personal info safe and adjusting privacy settings; to empower them to navigate the digital world confidently. Let's explore some basics, 🛑 Before You Say "Yes" Online - Think First: Encourage children to pause and reflect before agreeing to anything online. - Ask for Help: To understand the value of seeking guidance from a trusted adult when navigating unfamiliar online territories. 🛑 Keep Things Private - Keep it Secret: To be careful upon making personal information publicly available such as name, addresses, and personal photos.. - Stay Safe Online: Raise awareness of the dangers of disclosing sensitive information to strangers on the internet. 🛑 Adjust the Privacy Settings - Empower children to explore privacy settings and understand the meaning of their digital footprint and personal data. - Encourage children to customize privacy settings to share only what aligns with their comfort and safety. 🛑 Take Your Time - Don't Rush: Teach children the importance of patience when navigating online prompts or requests. - Get Permission: Reinforce the notion of seeking permission from a responsible adult when uncertain about online activities or requests. It's inspiring to see some schools prioritize teaching /raising awareness of data privacy and consent in today's digital age. By instilling these values early, they empower students to navigate the digital world responsibly and foster a culture of privacy and informed decision-making, contributing to their holistic development. #DataPrivacyEducation #ConsentMatters #DigitalLiteracy #PrivacyMatters #TechEthics #DigitalCitizenship #FutureLeaders #EducationForTomorrow #SocialMediaAwareness #EmpoweringStudents

As parents of today's ultra-connected kids and teens, navigating the terrain of digital civility can sometimes feel like navigating a minefield. A recent article has shed new light on the growing importance of teaching our kids digital civility, the skills needed to engage responsibly and respectfully in the online world. So, what is digital civility? Essentially, it's the understanding that the rights and responsibilities we have offline should extend to the online world. This includes respectful communication, privacy, reputation management, critical thinking, and discerning real from fake. It's about creating a positive online environment that ensures safe, respectful digital interactions for everyone. The article goes on to discuss the four key aspects of digital civility. Firstly, it highlights the need to prevent cyberbullying. Current statistics show that nearly 60% of teenagers in the US have been bullied or harassed online. Clearly, a more respectful digital interaction can significantly reduce this figure. Next, it emphasizes fostering a culture of consent. This involves teaching our kids to respect others' digital boundaries and understanding that 'once something is online, it's there forever'. Thirdly, the article underlines the importance of spotting fake news, a skill which is more critical now than ever. As of today, according to a recent study, 50% of adults in the US have shared fake news, often without realizing it. Lastly, the article underscores the significance of building a positive online reputation, a digital footprint that can pave the path to academic and career opportunities. As parents, we hold the key to empower our children with the tools they need to practice digital civility. We must ask ourselves: "Are we doing enough to foster these skills in our children?" Let’s start a dialogue right here. Share this post with your network and start a conversation with your kids today. Let’s stand together to make the digital world a more civil place. So, fellow parents, how do you think we can teach our kids about digital civility? Have you had any successes or challenges in your own family discussions? #DigitalCivility #OnlineSafety #ParentingInDigitalAge #CyberBullying #FakeNews #PositiveDigitalFootprint #RaiseDigitalCitizens Read the full post on https://lnkd.in/dv_rWcBS.
