This means thinking <em>thrice<\/em> before saying something while also considering whom we\u2019re going to say it to, just like in a face-to-face conversation. We don&#8217;t spill the beans to people we just met or hardly know, right? If one thinks something isn\u2019t right to say, then it isn\u2019t right to post either.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Internet ALERT:<\/strong> <em>Don\u2019t fall for fake.<\/em> Oftentimes, we remind ourselves that not everything we see online is real; and this is something we must teach our kids, too. Being able to tell which is which is a learned skill. Awareness is key.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Internet STRONG:<\/strong> <em>Secure your secrets.<\/em> Personal journals of old were not only hidden under false drawers; they were also sealed with a little lock and key. With this picture of security in mind, kids should treat their most prized possession\u2014their personal information and credentials\u2014the same way as these journals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Internet KIND:<\/strong> <em>It\u2019s cool to be kind.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/?s=bullying\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Online bullying<\/a> is one of the many challenges that kids may come across every day. It\u2019s high time that they are reminded to treat people online the way they want to be treated. The internet can be a place for positivity to grow, too!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Internet BRAVE:<\/strong> <em>When in doubt, talk it out.<\/em> Children must be encouraged to raise questions regarding content or behavior they see online. In response, adults must support their children\u2019s curiosity by listening and understanding without judgment. This does not only foster open communication between adult and child but also builds trust toward the adult and confidence in the child.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although Be Internet Awesome primarily targets young children between the ages of 8 and 11, anyone can use the program\u2019s materials to learn to make smart decisions online. Even Mom and Dad.<\/p>\n<p>Talks about internet safety don&#8217;t have to be technical and boring. It can be creative and enjoyable, too. Regardless of how it is presented to the next generation, what\u2019s really important is to get them involved in internet security and privacy by starting that conversation, and we continue to talk about these with them.<\/p>\n<p>Safe surfing, everyone!<\/p>\n<p><em>The Malwarebytes Labs Team<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/101\/2017\/06\/the-smart-alert-strong-kind-brave-way-to-internet-awesome\/\">The smart, alert, strong, kind, and brave way to internet awesome<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\">Malwarebytes Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/101\/2017\/06\/the-smart-alert-strong-kind-brave-way-to-internet-awesome\/\" target=\"bwo\" >https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/feed\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Credit to Author: Malwarebytes Labs| Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2017 15:00:44 +0000<\/strong><\/p>\n<table cellpadding='10'>\n<tr>\n<td valign='top' align='center'><a href='https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/101\/2017\/06\/the-smart-alert-strong-kind-brave-way-to-internet-awesome\/' title='The smart, alert, strong, kind, and brave way to internet awesome'><img src='https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/shutterstock_511753891.jpg' border='0'  width='300px'  \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign='top' align='left'>This National Internet Safety Month, Google launches Be Internet Awesome, a campaign that aims to teach kids to explore the internet safely, smartly, and confidently.
