When parents think about the dangers of the Internet, their thoughts usually turn to cyberbullying, online predators, and inappropriate web content. There are other dangers lurking behind the screen, however, and they could be just as dangerous to your child\u2019s wellbeing and future. If your child\u2019s online privacy and\/or reputation is compromised, there could be dire consequences. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

###\u00a0Privacy<\/p>\n

Many kids (and even adults) use the Internet much the way they would use a private diary. Unfortunately few\u2014if any\u2014thoughts you share on the Web are actually private. If your child gives out personal information online such as his or her full name, birthday, or even the school he or she attends, those with a will to do so could use this information to bring harm to them\u2014either on or offline.<\/p>\n

###\u00a0Reputation<\/p>\n

Your youngster\u2019s reputation may be the very last thing he or she is thinking about when surfing the Web or interacting on social media networks, but it shouldn\u2019t be. Not only are few things online private, but many of them are also permanent. Plus, more and more employers are using Facebook, Google+, and other online applications to vet prospective employees prior to hiring them. What does that mean for your child? It means the things he or she types today could come back to haunt him tomorrow, years from now, or whenever the time comes for him to seek employment.<\/p>\n

###\u00a0What You Can Do to Protect Your Child\u2019s Online Privacy and Reputation<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t already done so, the very first step in protecting your child\u2019s online privacy and reputation is to have a conversation about the importance of being discreet online. Let your youngster know exactly what information they can and cannot share. In general, any info that could potentially reveal your child\u2019s identity should be kept completely private. But, don\u2019t stop there. Make sure that your child knows why it\u2019s important to maintain this level of privacy. Be clear about the negative consequences that could result from being too forthcoming on the Web.<\/p>\n

Of course, the only one who should know exactly what your child is doing online is you. We all know that even good kids can be sneaky or simply forget the rules from time to time. If you want to ensure that what your child is saying on the Web is indeed harmless, then you may want to consider an online parental control app like Qustodio<\/a>.
