Here are a few tips to help make a child's online experience safer: -- Teach children never to give personal information (such as name, address, phone number, school, etc.) unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. -- Know the sites your children are visiting and which sites are appropriate. -- Look for website privacy policies. Know how your child's information is treated.
