As children begin school and use technology more frequently, online safety becomes increasingly important. Parents should guide their child’s online activities by selecting high-quality, educational apps, games, and websites while maintaining parental controls and safe browsing settings. At this age, children should learn foundational online safety rules, such as not sharing personal information (e.g., name, address, or school), recognizing trusted sources, and avoiding interaction with strangers. Screen time should be balanced with physical play and offline activities to ensure well-rounded development. It’s also essential for caregivers to monitor their child’s digital activities closely and engage in open conversations about what they encounter online. By fostering curiosity in a safe, supervised environment and setting clear rules for device usage, parents can help children develop responsible habits and a positive relationship with technology.
