Safer Internet Day: Children need educating from age of 5, say campaigners
Scoop.it!
European Commission There are many different people who need to help build a better internet for kids. The private sector, in particular, can do a lot: after all, there the ones who often create and run websites, software, networks and devices. Showing that they’re “thinking safety” wouldn’t just be good for kids – it would be good for their bottom line: many children and parents do worry about this subject, and it’s time they saw the private sector as part of the solution, not part of the problem.
So I’m delighted that our “Internet coalition” of 31 leading companies, which we set up just over a year ago, has now reported: setting a new online industry benchmark for child protection. And look at how much progress has been committed after one year of collective work across sectors! - Tools to report online abuse or bullying are now becoming universal. - More and more of the devices you see for sale (from computers and mobiles, to games consoles and connected TV sets) will have parental control options.
- Age ratings, a long-standing and well-known feature for movies and video games, are starting to appear for apps and online content too – and the coalition will be working further on aligning systems to help this. I will follow closely and make sure these leading companies deliver on their commitment in 2013 and beyond. And I would like to see the whole industry moving in the direction of child safety by default.

As 2012 draws to an end, it's fair to say it's been a very busy year for cybercriminals! So what have we learnt from the past year and what do we need to be wary of in 2013 to ensure that both our data and our wallet remain protected?

Children as young as five should be given lessons in how to use the internet safely, campaigners have urged.
Gust MEES's insight:
I taught my niece already 10 years ago as she was 4 1/2 and that worked perfectly! Kids are learning very quickly THE reflexes up from the moment that they understand the difference between GOOD and BAD, that's the moment where parents can start with it.
Also on that age they know the colors RED and GREEN, where GREEN is for GOOD and RED for BAD, here one can show them the following programs as:

Welcome, and thank you for joining us to celebrate Safer Internet Day (SID) 2013, taking place on Tuesday 5 February 2013 with the theme ‘Online rights and responsibilities’ and the slogan ‘Connect with respect’.
In 2013, for the second year running, we have again produced a SID Kit for Schools (and other educators), to bring together some great resources for raising online safety awareness.
Click on the links to the right to explore.
You can use the resources as best suits your local circumstances. For example, you may choose to use all or a selection of the resources, or you may choose to take parts of the kit and adapt them to your own needs. Likewise, although Safer Internet Day is celebrated on a particular day, you may choose to raise the profile of online safety over a day, week or month, depending on what is appropriate in your individual setting.
And, as this year’s theme focuses on ===> ‘Online rights and responsibilities’,
– for example the ===> rights and responsibilities of parents and carers, educators, and industry, as well as the rights and responsibilities of children and young people themselves in their online lives. <===
