Talking to kids about online privacy is like talking to them about not opening the front door to strangers. Help them set strong passwords and use privacy settings. When we explain what personal information is OK to share and whom to trust, we protect them against grooming, AI companions, and other tricky situations. And even when new apps pop up and platform settings change, the human skills remain the same. Critical thinking and knowing how to assess risks—and when to get a trusted adult—is the best way to stay safe and ahead of the game.
