Through memorable poetry and captivating imagery, Sandy, the Security Awareness Pixie, takes children on an adventure teaching them about security and safety in the online world. Children between the ages of 3-12 are increasingly exposed to digital environments where risks abound. At this impressionable age, children are curious and may inadvertently share personal information or fall victim to online threats such as cyberbullying, inappropriate content, or scams.
By teaching them the basics of cybersecurity early on, we can instill safe online habits, helping them understand the importance of privacy, recognizing suspicious activity, and knowing how to respond to potential dangers. This foundational knowledge not only protects them in their formative years but also sets the stage for a lifetime of safe internet use.
In this book, Sandy teaches children the fundamentals of identifying deceitful behavior on the Internet. She covers critical thinking skills, misinformation, fake news stories, people posing as someone they're not, and deep fakes.
