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.
