Cellphones and apps include a variety of settings that can help protect privacy, limit unwanted interactions, and make online communication safer.
This activity, available in French only, invites you to explore these settings with your child. The goal is not to lock and limit access to everything, but rather to help your child understand the tools available to them and develop the habits and skills needed to navigate the online world more safely and independently.
