Workshops

As our children’s lives become increasingly tracked with online photos and videos from parents and caregivers, understanding how to avoid oversharing and sharenting is essential for safeguarding them from potential predators and risks like identity theft, online harassment and other privacy violations. This workshop will cover the importance of children’s data privacy, the potential risks children face when their data is not appropriately managed by caregivers, and practical strategies for managing your child’s digital footprint. Parents will learn about: ● The responsibility of being a steward of your child’s digital footprint when they are young ● Risks related to privacy, cyberbullying and identity theft that can result from oversharing your children’s data outside the family circle ● How to enable privacy settings on all your social media platforms and apps ● How to decide what is safe to share, with whom, and under what circumstances ● How to start teaching your family members and other caregivers about keeping your children’s data safe online Together, we can create a safer online environment and ensure that our children can grow up in the digital world with confidence and security.
