The info in this course is worthwhile for any parent to take time to read and consider. I am especially glad that I took the time to go through all the data and precautions in the course with my sons. I feel way better about them using the internet now that I know that they understand what red flags look like online. Thanks wikiHow!

By going through the course, I have not only learned how to keep my kids safe when they’re online, but also realized how I wasn’t practicing great computer security myself. I feel way more in control of my data privacy now. Highly recommend trying this course!

This course is EXACTLY what my family needed. The iPad is way too popular in our household, but at least now I feel more confident about my daughters being on it safely. I’ve been telling all my friends that they NEED this!
