Kavi Keeps It to Herself

Kavi the owl is making a profile for a fun drawing app. It asks: "What is your real name? Add a photo of you! Where is your home?" Kavi pauses. "My name, my home and my photo are private — they're mine to keep," she hoots. She types a nickname, picks a 🦉 owl picture instead of her face, and leaves 'home' blank. "I'll keep my private things to myself — and ask a grown-up if I'm not sure!"

A peek inside

An app asks me to type my real name to play. Should I type it in?
My real name is one of my private things — it tells someone who I am. A game doesn't need it. I can use a nickname and keep my real name to myself.

Try this at home: Name the three private things you keep to yourself online.

💬

Questions parents ask

+What private things should a child keep to themselves online?

Three big ones: their real name, their home (where they live — the address or a photo that shows it), and photos of themselves. These things tell someone who you are and where to find you, so you keep them private. Fun, not-secret things like a favorite color, a drawing or a game you like are usually okay to share.

+Why is a photo of yourself private?

A photo shows what you look like and sometimes where you are — your home, your street or your school in the background. Someone you don't know should not be able to see that. So you keep photos of yourself private, and if an app or person asks for one, you tell a grown-up first.

+How do I teach my child to keep private things private?

Give them one simple rule for three things: keep your name, your home and your photo to yourself. Practice with examples — an app asking for a real name, a stranger asking for a photo — so they know to say no and ask a grown-up before it happens.
