✨Bonus tip: Ask each of the three credit reporting agencies to create a credit report in your child’s name—and then immediately put a freeze on it.✨
Here are some tips to keep kids' identities safe online:
1. Educate Them: Teach children about the importance of privacy and the risks of sharing personal information online.
2. Use Privacy Settings: Enable privacy settings on social media accounts and other online platforms to control who can see their information.
3. Strong Passwords: Encourage the use of strong, unique passwords for each online account and consider using a password manager.
4. Avoid Sharing Personal Information: Instruct children not to share sensitive information like full names, addresses, phone numbers, or financial details online.
5. Be Cautious with Social Media: Advise children to be careful about what they post on social media and who they connect with, as oversharing can lead to identity theft.
6. Verify Requests: Teach children to verify the identity of people they interact with online, especially if someone asks for personal information or wants to meet in person.
7. Keep Devices Secure: Ensure that devices are protected with up-to-date security software and encourage children to log out of accounts when they're finished using them.
8. Monitor Online Activity: Regularly check children's online activity and have open conversations about their experiences and any concerns they may have.
