4 Must-Do Online Safety Tips Before Spring Break Spring break means more free time, more screen time, and often, less supervision. Before your kids head into vacation mode, set them up for safe and smart online habits: ✅ Turn off location services – Don’t let apps broadcast their whereabouts. ✅ Avoid real-time posting – Share memories after the moment, not during. ✅ Disable Snap Maps – Friends don’t need a live map of their location. ✅ No tagging locations while still there – Keep outings private until safely home. Talking with your kids about healthy boundaries and safe communication empowers them to enjoy their independence without putting themselves at risk. Start the conversation now and make digital safety a habit! Get more expert safety tips to help keep your kids safe online on our blog. https://lnkd.in/gWrAN5x
