Protect your children

Unfortunately, predators have many ways to approach and lure children via the internet . Make sure you know ways to keep your children safe online.

Today, children are considered digital natives, which means they are just as comfortable online as they are offline.

The internet enables endless educational possibilities, with constantly evolving information streams. But the vastness of the internet can be a hindrance when children cannot effectively process what they find.
