With
children
across
India
spending
more
time
online
for
classes,
entertainment,
and
connecting
with
friends,
cyber
safety
has
become
an
everyday
necessity.
Today’s
young
internet
users-often
talented
and
curious-might
not
always
recognize
risks
hiding
behind
playful
usernames
or
colorful
game
invites.
Online
threats
facing
children
include
cyberbullying,
fake
gaming
or
study
links,
scams
through
messaging
apps,
and
strangers
trying
to
make
personal
contact
on
social
media.
Experts
warn
that
sharing
private
details-like
photos,
home
addresses,
or
school
names-even
with
seemingly
friendly
online
contacts
can
place
young
people
at
risk.
Practicing
digital
hygiene
helps
children
browse
safely.
This
means
never
sharing
OTPs,
passwords,
posting
location
details
on
social
media
or
personal
&
family
details
with
anyone
online.
It’s
wise
to
keep
passwords
long
and
private,
avoid
clicking
on
suspicious
links,
and
always
log
out
from
shared
devices.
If
something
online
feels
uncomfortable
or
wrong,
children
should
immediately
talk
to
their
parents,
teachers,
or
another
trusted
adult.
Parents,
teachers,
and
guardians
are
encouraged
to
have
regular
conversations
about
internet
safety.
Simple
rules-like
“don’t
accept
random
friend
requests,”
“don’t
respond
to
strangers,” and
“always
use
privacy
settings”-can
keep
children
safe.
Schools
are
also
introducing
digital
safety
topics
so
children
learn
to
identify
harmful
content,
misleading
messages,
and
scams.
Cyber
safety
is
not
just
a
skill-it’s
an
everyday
habit.
By
being
alert,
making
smart
choices
online,
and
speaking
up
about
worries
or
strange
incidents,
following
Cyber-Dost
to
always
be
aware
of
various
scams,
children
can
enjoy
the
benefits
of
the
digital
world
safely.
Together,
families
and
educators
can
help
our
young
citizens
be
confident,
kind,
and
cautious
as
they
explore
the
internet.
