It is a given that all parents want to bring up their children in the best possible way and ensuring they are safe from any harm or danger. In a world which is intricately woven around digital technology, the parents cannot isolate them from the world around them but can certainly ensure that they are safe from any looming dangers of it. Its is necessary for parents to follow certain precautions to ensure children’s full protection from cyber threats.

Usage of these news applications and technology trends continuously influence their behavior and the ways in which we think.

Children protection and safety from cyber threats also depends on their activities and online behavior.

The internet can be a dangerous place for the unwary children. A person’s digital footprints are easy to follow and trace therefore parents need to be extra cautious of keeping their children safe by keeping a tab on their online activities as they could fall prey to cyber attacks, bullying and stalking without even realizing. Since there is no substitute to parental supervision therefore parents should keep an active eye on what their child does online.

Many children believe that internet browsing is anonymous, parents should be able to educate their children on the permanence of their digital footprint. Whenever they visit a website, share content, post something on a site or blog or update information on themselves including their pictures, they are gradually building their digital footprint which can be misused without their knowledge or consent.

Besides this social networking websites which are hugely popular amongst young adults, teenagers and children are a platform to befriend people across any geography, this should be actively monitored by parents who their children’s friend is online and what they share with them through the medium.
