Child Protection and Creating Safe Environments- Online Gaming Safety Tips
Online gaming is fun. It’s cool to compete against people from every corner of the world but online gaming can expose kids to risks like cyberbullying, harassment, and predators. Teach your child these safety tips: 1. Protect identity: Use a nickname and avoid real photos for avatars. 2. Keep personal info private: Never share phone numbers, addresses, school details, or age. 3. Mute chats: Prevent bullying and trash talk. 4. Block uncomfortable users: Don’t engage with anyone who feels unsafe. 5. Use parental controls: Manage safety and screen time. For more resources visit www.eriercd.org/childprotection/.
