Teaching kids about openness and dangers of online activities is one of the best things to do. Make sure your kids feel safe to tell you what they are up to and you as a parent be also trusting on your kids judgment if they tell you the truth. Sure, some privacy is needed, but if something is up there is ground to talk about it.

Another thing not discussed at all is parents actually spending time on what the kids use as apps or understand their social life, to make sure you understand as a parent how something works or how the circle of friends look like.
