KEY POINTS

On “Mental Breakthroughs”, host Patricia Wu and guest cybersecurity expert Daniel Hammond discuss the major online threats facing children, including predators, inappropriate sharing, and accidental information leaks.

Talk Openly

Have honest conversations about real-world risks of online predators, inappropriate content, and information sharing, tailored to your child’s age.
