Many of today's apps, social media platforms, and websites have age restrictions for a reason—but those restrictions are often easy to bypass. As a result, children can be exposed to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, online predators, and other risks before they're ready to handle them.
Technology has its benefits, but nothing replaces real-world experiences, strong family connections, and time spent outdoors. Let's work together to help kids stay safe online and engaged in the world around them.
That's why we created the Connected and Protected program—to help parents and educators learn about the tools, resources, and strategies available to keep kids safe online. After all, many kids can navigate a new app faster than most adults can find the settings menu, so staying in control is more important than ever!
