Helping Families Navigate the Digital World
As technology continues to evolve, so do the ways children connect, learn, and communicate. Unfortunately, online spaces can also create opportunities for exploitation. That’s why CPCA recently developed a new resource, Digital Safety & Online Exploitation Prevention: A Guide for Parents, Guardians, and Community Members, to help adults better understand today’s digital risks and how to keep children safe.
The guide covers topics including online grooming, sextortion, digital reputation, cyberbullying, warning signs to watch for, and practical steps families can take to create safer online experiences. It also introduces CPCA’s Digital Safety & Online Exploitation community training, which provides adults with real-world strategies they can put into practice right away.
A few reminders for families:
- Keep social media and gaming accounts private whenever possible.
- Turn off location sharing on apps and devices.
- Encourage open, judgment-free conversations about online experiences.
- Remind children that deleted messages and photos can still be saved or shared.
