Kids these days are surrounded by internet usage in their daily lives. The educational system in North America encourages kids to use the internet and technology for learning purposes, and for good reason. The internet allows kids to do educational research online and communicate with their friends. The internet also provides many leisure activities like streaming music, movies, TV shows, and of course, playing online games.

Kids love video games, especially those that let them share their experiences and creations with others. Almost every video game today has some type of social compartment built-in, whether its directing messaging or chatting. As fun as it may be, this also poses a lot of danger to children online.

Crimes that happen in real life, such as stealing, also happen on the internet. Just like how kids have to look both ways before crossing the street, they also need to be careful when using the internet. For example, while video games are good for building imaginations and relationships, they are also popular environments for hackers.

Often, kids might not realize that their actions online might hurt them or their families. Learning about the dangers online and taking action to protect kids is an important step in making the internet a safer place for them. Below are some interesting topics we cover to inform you of potential threats to you and your children.
