📌 Tip 18 of 72 🏷️ social-privacy 👶 Ages 3–5

The combination of your real name, your school, and your neighborhood is enough for someone with bad intentions to build a detailed picture of where you are and when.

A "first day of school" post with your school tagged, followed by a post about being home alone, creates a pattern that predators actively look for.

Share the excitement about school without the location context — post the photo, remove the geotag.

Ask your child: "Who can see your social media posts right now? Let’s check the privacy settings together."
