Last Updated Sept 24 

Pumpkin picking has become a must-do autumn activity for us. Before Little J came along, we’d grab a few pumpkins from the local supermarket, but once we discovered pumpkin patches, we were hooked! There’s something special about wandering through a field and choosing your own pumpkin. Over the years, more and more pumpkin patches have popped up across the North West, and many of them are just a short drive from Liverpool. Some of them offer full-day experiences with fairground rides and maize mazes, while others keep it simple with just pumpkins. Whatever you’re after, pumpkin picking is such a fun experience for the whole family, especially little ones – they’ll love it!

How to Teach Kids About Online Privacy Through Fun Activities

How to Teach Kids About Online Privacy Through Fun Activities

No comments

Disclosure - This is a collaborative post

In today’s digital age, making online content a part of your everyday life is as important as locking your front door before going outside. It’s no secret that children of all ages are using the internet for various online activities. Whether it’s using technology to help with their homework, or spending time on social media sites to connect with friends, being online has become an important part of their life. However, it’s equally important to adopt online safety measures and set some family rules in place so that your child can become internet awesome. If you’re a parent looking for ways to teach your kids about online privacy, here are five ways you can make cyber safety fun for your kids.

5 Ways To Teach Kids About Online Privacy And Make Them Internet Awesome

Teach The Importance Of Password Through Cryptograms

Strong passwords are the backbone of a safe online experience. If you want to introduce your child to the concept of password management and why they need to create passwords that are complex, long, and changed regularly, use cryptograms. As your child deciphers complex letters and numbers, you can start talking about how their passwords are similar to the game of cryptogram. Think of this experience as a lesson plan where your kids learn the importance of passwords from you, apply their knowledge to create passwords for themselves and safeguards these passwords with the help of a reliable password manager.

Make Digital Footprints Fun With Storytelling

You can create a fascinating story to help your child understand the concept of digital footprints and why being vigilant while sharing any piece of information on social media is important. Use the story to teach them the difference between personal information, such as details about family and shareable information like fun pictures of their pet on social media platforms, as well as the importance of staying away from inappropriate content. You can also use the story to introduce them to serious topics like online bullying, personal privacy, and develop their digital literacy skills to build healthy expectations around technology use.

Limit Screen Time By Playing Outdoors

An important aspect of teaching children about internet safety is to keep their online interactions short and sweet. In order to build a healthy online behaviour, it’s essential to have controlled and healthy screen time. Encourage your kids to play outdoors as much as possible. Instead of spending time indoors or using their screen time while eating food, instil good habits of staying in the present moment without relying on technology to keep them entertained. It’s crucial that you lead by example here. Try to play with them outdoors at least once a day and avoid using your phone while eating or doom scrolling. After all, the best way to teach our kids about online privacy is by showing them a healthy relationship example between you and the internet. This will also help them develop self discipline  and self-control when it comes to falling in the trap of digital dependence.

Ensure Malware Protection By Using The Doctor Set

Malwares are a real threat to our kids' online privacy, that’s why it’s important for them to be aware of ways to protect themselves from malwares online through the use of strong malware protection softwares. Use their favourite doctor set to run parallels between real life viruses that make us sick and computer viruses that hamper our technological equipment. For instance, you can say that just like medicines and vaccines protect our body from viral infections, malware protection softwares protects our technological gadgets from online viruses that might make them sick.

Use Role Play To Make Privacy Fun

Last but not least, using role play and creating fun situations that make your little ones think can be one of the best ways to introduce them to topics like privacy settings, online risks, harmful content, age-inappropriate content, online games, online predators, importance of maintaining balance between real life and digital life, and online communication. Since all of these form important aspects of internet safety, using role play much like in classroom activities can make the process of learning and understanding fruitful.

Online privacy is a never-ending concern for parents of teens and pre-teens alike. That’s why teaching kids about online privacy is important for their overall well-being. Since online privacy is one of the important 21st century skills to learn, making it fun for your kids through fun activities can make the process of learning more impactful and interesting.
