Conversation Starters
Ask your kids these questions:
“What apps or games are most popular with your friends right now? Are their any that parents may not know about?”
“If you saw something online that made you uncomfortable, would you feel okay telling me?”
“Has anyone online ever made you feel uncomfortable or asked you something weird?”
“Do kids ever pretend to be someone else online?”
A Reminder for Parents
The goal isn’t to control every digital interaction—it’s to build trust so your child knows they can come to you when something doesn’t feel right.
Small conversations today can prevent bigger problems tomorrow.
