Digital Security Guide

The reality is that children are starting to use technological equipment, access the Internet and interact with Technology at an increasingly younger age. This early use of technology and equipment has benefits, such as the development of language skills or logical and strategic reasoning acquired through games, but it also brings children some risks, such as viewing inappropriate content or contacting people they don’t know. In this sense, it is fundamental that parents accompany their children, teaching them and making them aware of these risks, so that they have the skills and knowledge to protect themselves. It is therefore necessary for parents to also have knowledge, in order to provide their children with good Internet experiences, so that they see the Internet as a positive and beneficial place for their development.
