Kavi and the Pop-Up

Kavi the owl is playing a game when a bright pop-up appears: "🎉 You WON! Type your password and your home address to get your prize!" Kavi's feathers ruffle. "Hmm — my password and address are private," she hoots. "I won't type them. I'll go ask a grown-up!" Her dad takes one look and smiles: "Good thinking, Kavi — that was a trick. Keeping private things private keeps you safe online!"

A peek inside

A website asks me to type my phone number to play a game. Should I type it in?
My phone number is a private thing. A game doesn't need it, and sharing it could let a stranger reach me. The safe move is to not type it and ask a grown-up.

Try this at home: Name two private things you should keep secret online.

💬

Questions parents ask

+What should kids never share online?

Private things that could let a stranger find or trick them: their home address, phone number, passwords, which school they go to, and photos that show where they live. Fun things that are not secret — like a favorite color, animal or game — are usually fine to share.

+Why should a child ask a grown-up when online?

A child cannot always tell when a message or pop-up is a trick. If anything online asks for private information, feels scary or mean, or seems too good to be true, the safest move is to stop and ask a trusted grown-up — a parent, carer or teacher — who can help decide what to do.

+How do I teach my child to be safe online?

Give them one clear rule: keep private things private, and when something online feels wrong or asks for private information, ask a grown-up first. Practice with examples, like a pop-up asking for a password or a stranger asking for a photo, so they know what to do before it happens.
