A study of kids in grades 4-8 conducted by the Center for Cyber Safety and Education revealed that 40% of kids chatted online with a stranger, 62% went to adult websites after a search, 49% have been online at 11pm on a school night and a number of other interesting (scary?) observations.

The study underscores the importance of teaching your kids about online safety and privacy. The Center for Cyber Safety and Education is a good place for parents to start learning security basics and understand how to engage your children on matters of online safety and privacy.
Without further ado, here are the tips. You can download them here and discover more useful tips for parents at: www.iamcybersafe.org/parents.
