New Year Digital Safety Reset
Start the new year with a fresh approach to family digital safety.
The new year is a natural time to review and reset your family's digital safety practices. This guide helps you audit, update, and improve your approach.
Device audit
Review all family devices: update software, check parental controls, remove unused apps, review account passwords.
Update family agreement
Review your family digital agreement. Update rules that no longer fit your child's age and maturity.
Privacy spring clean
Review social media privacy settings, remove old accounts, and check what personal information is visible online.
Set new goals
Agree on one new digital safety goal for each family member — including parents.
