Tablets and phones are available to most 7+ year olds and this is no longer a secret. But do we, as parents, know how to properly manage and supervise the way children use these mobile devices?
In the first episode of Cyber4Kids – certSIGN's cyber education campaign for children, we bring to the fore a series of useful tips for both children and adults, regarding mobile games. We talk about checking and installing new games, protecting personal data, talking to other players, setting up parental control, avoiding accidental purchases and much more in:
• Video Animation "Cyber4Kids. We play safely (ep.1)"
• PDF Guide "Cyber4Kids. Lesson 1. Mobile games, safely"
Important to remember?
• New games must be installed with and verified by parents.
• When choosing a name to enter the game, it is good to avoid using the child's real name or date of birth.
• If another player asks for details about their real name, address, place of learning or any other personal information, the little ones must know not to answer.
• Although tablet or mobile phones games are part of children's favorite activities, we must not forget that playing outdoors with friends is the best remedy for boredom!

For 8 weeks, on certSIGN YouTube channel, children and parents will be connected together to new adventures in Cyber City – the capital of the Internet – within the Cyber4Kids campaign.
