5 Digital Safety Tips for Parents in 2025

Keeping your family safe online doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s what you need to know this year.

1. Establish “Screen-Free” Zones & Times

Create tech-free spaces (like the dinner table) and windows (one hour before bed) to model healthy boundaries and encourage face-to-face connection.

2. Use Age-Appropriate Privacy Settings

Regularly review and update privacy controls on your children’s apps and devices. Visit the settings in Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Kids to limit who can see and interact with their content.

3. Teach Critical Media Literacy

Help your kids question what they see online—identify misinformation, spot scams, and understand that not everything on social is real life. Frame it as a fun “detective” game.

4. Monitor in a Respectful Way

Instead of secret accounts, consider shared family profiles or approved-content apps. Be transparent: tell your children you’re watching to keep them safe, not to spy on them.

5. Model Positive Online Behavior

Your own digital habits are the best lesson. Show empathy in comments, verify information before sharing, and admit when you make mistakes—then discuss how to fix them.

For a deeper dive into these strategies and more, check out my book Keeping Families Safe on Social Media or join the conversation in the WomenBizHub Facebook group.

The Real Talk Parents Need About Social Media

Honest, no-BS guidance for keeping kids safe and savvy online.

1. Open, Ongoing Conversations

Don’t wait for a crisis—make social media chats a routine. Ask open-ended questions like “What’s your favorite thing you saw online today?” and listen without judgment.

2. Set Shared Expectations

Co-create family guidelines on screen time, content, and privacy. When everyone has a voice, rules feel fair, not punitive.

3. Embrace “Digital First Aid”

Teach your kids how to respond to cyberbullying, unsettling content, or oversharing. Practice scenarios like “What would you do if…” so they’re prepared.

4. Balance Transparency & Independence

Use parental controls as a safety net, but explain why you’re watching. Trust grows when transparency is the foundation of supervision.

5. Model Healthy Behavior

Your kids mirror you. Show them how you handle disagreements online, fact-check questionable info, and step away when you need a break.
