Protecting Kids Online: A Parent’s Guide to Digital Safety

On “Mental Breakthroughs”, host Patricia Wu and guest cybersecurity expert Daniel Hammond discuss the major online threats facing children, including predators, inappropriate sharing, and accidental information leaks.

Set Boundaries Early

Start restricting access and teaching about digital dangers from a young age. This builds trust and responsible digital habits.

Devices Out of Bedrooms

Limit access at night to reduce potential dangers. An unsupervised device is a risk, even for responsible kids.

Talk Openly

Have honest conversations about real-world risks of online predators, inappropriate content, and information sharing, tailored to your child’s age.
