It is without question that we need the internet for learning, work, and entertainment. COVID-19 has made this fact even more apparent as school and work went indoors for Shelter In Place. The internet connects us even when physical connection is no longer possible. As we connect more, we must remember to be safe and be vigilant online. As much as we would love for our children to roam free outside, chances are they’re going to be spending a bit more time on the internet than we may have hoped. So, how do we ensure our children’s safety online? About a year ago, my daughters searched for information on the web and consumed media that was false and slightly harmful. Rather than punish them, we talked about the importance of having a bit of healthy skepticism when reviewing content on the internet. In this episode of the podcast, we share my story of "Little Red Riding Hood" to explain internet safety and media literacy and hold a family discussion about browser cookies, ads, and so much more!
