Tech Tips for Families

Cyberbullying

Whether on the playground or online, kids can face unkind behavior. Do your best to get ahead of the hurt by talking with your children about how to deal with mean online actions and their consequences. Make sure they know what cyberbullying is, who to talk to if something makes them uncomfortable, and what to do if they see or experience cyberbullying.

Ring the Bell!
