Stay Safe Online

Grumpy Gus says: "Keep your secrets secret!"

Never share these with people online:

• Your full name
• Where you live or go to school
• Your phone number
• Your passwords
• Pictures of you or your family

Grumpy Gus doesn't tell anyone where his cookie jar is. You shouldn't tell anyone where you live!

Positive Pete says: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"

• "You won a prize!" or "Click here for free stuff!" are often tricks.
• Ask a grown-up before you click a link, download something, or buy anything.

Friendly Fred says: "Be kind online."

• Only type things you would say to someone's face.
• If you see a mean message, don't pass it along.
• If someone is mean to you, don't answer. Tell a grown-up.

The whole gang says: "When in doubt, tell a grown-up!"

• People online aren't always who they say they are.
• Never agree to meet someone you only know from the internet.
• If anything online makes you feel scared, confused, or uncomfortable, stop and tell a parent, teacher, or another grown-up you trust. You will not be in trouble for telling.

For parents and guardians

The best online safety tool is a conversation. A few ideas that work well with kids:

• Explore sites and games together, especially new ones.
• Agree on family rules: which sites and apps are OK, and when to ask first.
• Make it clear your child will never be in trouble for telling you something that happened online.
• Check in often and keep the conversation going as they get older.
