Keeping Kids Safe On the Internet It's becoming almost impossible to keep our kids off the internet in the digital age. Many children access education online and it's the norm to catch up with their friends on social sites. Unfortunately, the internet can also be a harmful place for children but you can take these steps to ensure your child is safe:
If they use android devices, create a Google Account for your child under 13 (or the applicable age in your country), and manage it using Family Link.
CLICK HERE. With Google Accounts, children get access to Google products like Search, Chrome, and Gmail, and you are able to set up basic digital ground rules to supervise them.
Set up Digital WellbeingNow that your child's account is on Family link, you can restrict screen time by using Google's Digital Wellbeing. To find Digital Wellbeing as an app on Android, open it in your Settings app and then turn on the Show icon in the app list.
The first time you open Digital Wellbeing, you need to set up your child's profile.
