A parents' guide to a safer internet

Undoubtedly, the internet has now become an integral part of the daily lives of children and adolescents, and as parents, we must remain vigilant, listening to and understanding our children's activities and interactions online. While the internet offers numerous benefits, it also poses significant risks to underage users, such as exposure to inappropriate or harmful content and cyberbullying.

To ensure the safety of children and to adopt the most effective parental strategies, we recommend fostering meaningful communication between parents and their children about their online activities. This involves giving them the time and space to express their opinions and desires, while simultaneously educating them about the advantages and disadvantages including the potential dangers that exist in the online world. 

This booklet aims to serve as a guide by offering practical advice and clear guidelines to help parents achieve this approach, providing concise tips and information to support safer and more informed online interactions for their children.
