When you’re on the internet, it’s important to follow some rules. Every time you send a message to a friend, it’s like talking to them in person. So, it’s important to be kind and respectful. Remember, what you say online shows who you are. Always be nice and think before you type!

Sometimes, it’s a good idea to turn off your phone and spend time with your family and friends. It’s fun to play outside, read a book, or do something creative. Ask an adult to help you set limits on how much time you spend on your phone so you can enjoy other activities too.
When you’re talking to people online, always be yourself. Use words that show who you really are. Remember, the internet is a big place, and once you share something, it can stay there for a long time. So, think carefully about what you post.
When it’s time to study, try putting your phone away. This will help you concentrate better on your homework. When you’re with your friends and family, enjoy the moment without your phone. Sometimes, it’s nice to just be present and have fun without any distractions. Don’t you think so?

Whoa! You have just received a present—your first smartphone! Did you know you can do tons of things with a smartphone? One of the coolest things is that you can go on the internet. The internet is an amazing place to find new friends from all over the world. You can play games, listen to music, send text messages, and learn lots of things.
But there are rules on the internet that should be followed. Every time you send a message to a friend, it’s like delivering the message in person. Everything you write online is the same as a face-to-face conversation. Virtual is real. When you express yourself, remember that the words you use represent you. You are what you communicate.
Take great care with everything you share online, like information and photos about you and your friends. If you have any doubts, always ask an adult for help. Share with care.
Don’t forget that sometimes it’s best to turn off your phone and spend quality time with your friends and family. Always remember to be mindful of how much time you spend using your phone. Ask an adult to help you set up time limits.
Be careful when sharing pictures and information online; they can be easily shared by others and can remain online for a very long time. Be yourself, especially when you communicate with other people online. The words you use represent you.
Put your phone out of your reach when you are studying; it will help you to be more focused. When you enjoy time with your friends and family, there’s no need to use the phone, so sometimes it’s better to turn it off. Don’t you agree?
