It is undeniable that the world of the internet has penetrated into every home, every office and every corner. It has penetrated not only the lives of office workers, young people, businessmen but also the world of children.

Here are Google's top 5 tips for parents to keep kids safe online.

1. Be smart

Always pay attention to who your child is playing with and what they are doing. Remember the advice: "Never talk to strangers." Teach your child what is appropriate to share online only with people they trust. Keep personal information about family and friends private.

2. Be vigilant

Don't be so quick to believe everything you see on social media. Be discerning between what's real and what's fake.

In a world where information is shared with the click of a mouse, there are many ugly things that creep in. It is important to help children realize that people and situations online are not always nice.

Help your child recognize the signs of a scam: Always think before you act online and learn to trust your instincts. Explain to your child that sometimes people can use a fake identity to scam people.

3. Personal information security

Children's privacy and security are important on social media. Protecting valuable information can help keep your child from getting into dangerous situations.

Create a strong, unique password that is easy to remember, but avoid using personal information like names or birthdays. Use different passwords for multiple websites

4. Be kind

The internet is a powerful communication tool but it carries many messages, both positive and negative. With social media being a big part of many children's lives, it is important to help foster appropriate social media behaviour.

Start a conversation with your child about their internet habits and teach them the concept of treating others as they would like to be treated, this will create a positive impact on others and prevent bullying behavior.

Encourage children to use the power of the Internet to spread positivity and respect others' differences. Prevent the spread of harmful or untrue messages by not forwarding them to others.

5. When in doubt, talk to someone you trust

Teach your child that if they feel they are in a situation that could be dangerous, they should immediately tell a trusted adult such as a parent, sibling, teacher, or teacher. Adults can help children deal with these issues.
