1- Cyberbullying: advice for parents and young people
 
When faced with cyberbullying, teach your children how to respond. Stress the importance of warning you without delay in order to contact the service platforms to have the accounts blocked.
 
Give your children a code of conduct. Tell them not to text, IM, or post insults or derogatory comments online to someone else.
 
This applies to insulting comments or comments with a sexual connotation in the private sphere as well as in everyday life.
 
Limit socialization on social networks, that is to say, online exchanges on forums or games, especially for children under 10 years old.
 
Pay attention to your child's behavior. When you identify strange behavior in your child, it may be due to some form of Internet bullying. Dialogue is the best way to find out more and take action if necessary.
=> Also listen to the advice of Pascale Garreau, Internet Manager Without Fear, on cyberbullying.

2- Building a better internet: good advice
Install a content filtering system on the family computer and on that of your children.
 
Communicate with your children to make them aware and educate them about the dangers of the Internet, create a climate of trust, and pass on family values.
 
Chat with your children and learn about their use of the Internet. To do this, you can participate in the creation of a parent-child charter including all the rules necessary for safe and responsible use of the Internet.
 
Be careful. Explain to your children that some sites or apps are inappropriate for their age and may be harmful to them.
 
Twist your finger seven times before posting! Once the content is in a public online space, you are no longer the sole owner of it and can easily lose control of it.
=> Listen to the advice of Valérie Chavanne, Yahoo Legal Director, and Justine Atlan, president of the E-Enfance association, to build a better Internet, and Surf safely.

3- Facing children, tablet, and smartphone under control
Talk to children about the risks of using smartphones (overexposure to screens, premature visual fatigue, for example…). The youngest need benchmarks and a framework. Don't hesitate to set limits.
 
Pay by phone, watch out for free games, and premium rate calls that children often do not master. An 0800 number is often chargeable.
 
Applications on smartphones and tablets are often free initially and may become chargeable. Avoid giving your code to your children to avoid unpleasant surprises.
 
Warn your children of possible bad encounters on the Internet. You never know who a true Internet friend is. Avoid your children being on social media platforms before 13 years old.
 
Teach children to keep their personal information confidential, including their address, phone number, or date of birth.
=> Also listen to the advice of Pascale Garreau, Internet Manager Without Fear, about the control of smartphones and tablets.

4- Protecting your privacy online is essential!
Protect your personal information. Do not share your personal (bank details, for example) or sensitive (political, religious opinions, etc.) data outside your circle of trust.
 
Remember to set up your accounts on social networks using the privacy options to define the level of information you want to share. And check regularly who can see your profile!
 
Secure your passwords. Choose a password of at least eight characters that are difficult for others to guess. Do not use the same password from one service to another and change it regularly.
 
Download apps only from trusted sources. Make sure the provider is known, read the terms of use and privacy policies.
 
Control negative behavior on the Internet. You have the option to report bad behavior or abuse when you see it. Do not hesitate!
=> Listen to the advice of Valérie Chavanne, Yahoo Legal Director, for better privacy protection

5- Code of good conduct for parents
Lead by example! Be a role model for your children. Respect the prohibitions you impose on them yourself. (no phone during meals, for example)
 
Be careful! Monitor your children's Internet searches, and take the opportunity to be up to date.
 
Set limits for time spent on your phone and on video streaming sites.
 
Encourage balance. Encourage them to discover extra-curricular and non-connected activities.
 
Discover their areas of interest and share friendly moments!
