Sharing Personal Information

Kids may inadvertently share identifying information like their real name, age, school, or location with strangers online.

Signs to Look For

1Kids sharing their age, grade, or school name
2Mentioning which city or neighborhood they live in
3Giving out phone numbers or email addresses
4Sharing social media handles to move conversations off-platform
5Posting photos that reveal location clues

What Parents Should Do

Establish clear rules: Never share personal info online
Explain why real names, schools, and locations must stay private
Review your child's profile for revealing information
Teach them that online friends are still strangers
Consider using a fake name or nickname for gaming

How to Talk About It

Use these conversation starters to discuss this topic with your child:

💬What information is okay to share online? What's not okay?
💬Do you know why we don't share our real name or school?
💬Has anyone ever asked where you live or what school you go to?
