Tips to help your loved ones stay secure online
In the digital age, keeping your family safe online is the equivalent of locking your family home at night. At Pepper Money, we’re committed to helping you navigate the complexities of the internet with ease and confidence.
Educate your kids on Cyber Safety
- Open conversations: Let’s talk about how to stay safe online. It’s a conversation worth having with your little ones.
- Know their online friends: Understanding who they’re interacting with can make all the difference.
- Share wisely: Some things are not meant to be shared online. Take some time to teach them what’s okay and what’s not.
- Spot cyber bullying: If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Encourage your kids to speak up about any online behaviour that feels off.
Parental controls for peace of mind
- Know your router: Your home Wi-Fi router can be your ally in protecting your children’s online activities.
- Device management: Parental controls are there for a reason. Let’s use them to keep an eye on what our kids see and do online.
- Safe browsing: Family safety features in browsers are a simple click away for a safer browsing experience.
Reminders for your children when online
- Think before you post: Once it’s out there, it’s out there for good. Let’s teach them to post wisely.
- Location privacy: Sharing your spot on the map isn’t always a good idea. Let’s keep where we are just between us.
- Family privacy: Personal family moments are precious. Let’s keep them that way and think twice before sharing.
Remember, we’re always here to help you navigate your financial journey securely.
