It’s undeniable that most children nowadays spend more time on their gadgets not only for learning but also for gamings and entertainment. If you don’t deprive them to experience the fun it gives, it’s our duty as parents to teach them how to use them responsibly. More than giving them time rules and viewing restrictions, it is also important to educate them about how they can protect their privacy online and how to distinguish real information from fake ones.

Does your children know how to spot those many forms of false information such as misleading, out-of-context, or intentionally deceptive news, conspiracy theories and propagandas, and biased writing or reporting?
