Is your child old enough to use the internet/have their own phone? If so, are they using social media? Do you montor their use? And what kinds of advice are you giving them in terms of online conduct?

At what age do you believe parents should start teaching their kids about cyber safety and security?

My child does have a phone,uses internet and some social media. Yes I monitor the useage and I beleive parents should start teaching about cyber safety and security before they are using the internet / social media on their own.

Advice I give: Never give out any of your personal information (last name, address, contact information), Must talk to each other on a regualr basis about what they do on there and what's good and what's bad, what they like and what issues they have.

That open communication is everything! Great advice, too.
