Kavi's New-Friend Page
Kavi found a fun game online, and it had a new-friend page to fill in. "My favourite colour is teal!" Kavi tapped happily. Then a box asked, "Where do you live?" Kavi stopped. "Hmm — my favourite colour is fine to share. But my home address? That's private." Some things we share with the whole world; some things we keep just for us and our trusted grown-ups. Let's learn which is which!
