YOU CAN HELP YOUR CHILDREN ENJOY GAMING SAFELY AND MAKE AN IMPACT ON THEIR OVERALL CYBER SAFETY AWARENESS WITH A FEW TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS!

1. Secure your internet connection and keep software, operating systems, and browsers up-to-date.
2. Use parental, privacy, and safety settings in-game, app stores, and on devices.
3. Choose games wisely based on ESRB safety ratings and family acceptability.
4. Teach, mentor, and train your children on proper online conduct including cyberbullying training.
5. Teach children to never disclose personally identifiable information (PII), to use avatars and ensure gamer tags never include PII.
6. Do your research, get involved, and if inclined, play the game, too.
