I made some notes about the importance of your own digital profile, as well as looking after the profiles of your children as well.
Especially if you are a Mommy Blogger... We are responsible for the digital profiles of our children as well!
Notes:
- Treat your own social profiles like a VIP.
- The National Prosecuting Authority has made it illegal to post naked pictures of children online.
- 3 rules to keep in mind with regards online safety. It is also a good idea to teach it to your children (Especially!!)
- 1 never talk to strangers
- Never share personal details
- Don't meet up with any strangers
