The internet is unavoidable — kids will explore it, just like the real world. Instead of blocking access, the focus should be on building trust, fostering open conversations, and teaching online safety. Tools like Family Link help set boundaries, but education is the most powerful defense.
Rigid rules often backfire, so guiding kids through digital dangers — including the dark web — with honest, judgment-free talks is key. Cyble, a leader in digital risk protection, stresses the value of staying informed and leveraging threat intelligence to navigate evolving online threats.
Parents also benefit from tech education, bridging the knowledge gap to support their kids better. In the end, it’s about balance: setting rules, being present, and raising resilient, informed individuals ready to make smart choices online.
