Try to make sure they know how they stay safe online as best as possible.

No phones until high school. Limit phone usage via parental controls. No posting photos of themselves online. Closed social media accounts in their teens. WhatsApp contacts limited to people they know in person.

We play the game of pragmatic averages. We aren’t the first of the parents in their friends group to allow their kids to have access to <insert app here>, but we also aren’t the last.

Honestly though, it’s a minefield.
