  • Familiarize young people about what is Cyberbullying and Cyberharassment which are also known as online bullying.
  • Provide examples so the children get more familiar with the different forms of Cyberbullying.

3. PURPOSE

By talking to the children about respecting others online, parents and teachers/educators can help build a positive digital environment that embraces learning and discovery, while minimising negativity and inappropriate content. Fostering open channels of communications with children about the digital world will help them feel more comfortable talking to adults if they encounter offensive content or if someone is harassing.The most important thing is to teach the children how to RESPECT the other online and CONDEMN when someone is bullying them online.
