Building children's cyber safety AWARENESS

PW invited parents of Brahm Dutt Blue Bells Public School, Sector 10, Gurugram to share insights on how they educate their children on cyber safety

- 

I firmly believe cyber safety awareness is vital for every child in today's digital world. My daughter Bhavika (class IX) served as a Cyber Council member last year, and her experience greatly enriched our family's understanding of online safety. We should all be cautious and never share personal information, while using strong and secure passwords. It is equally important to think carefully before clicking on unfamiliar links or engaging with strangers online. As parents, we can play a crucial role by encouraging open communication, ensuring children feel comfortable discussing their anxieties. With right guidance, awareness, and responsible habits, children can navigate the internet safely, make informed choices, and effectively protect themselves from online risks” — Sonia Sharma, homemaker
