Series: The Security Awareness Pixie

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 essential online safety tips for navigating social networks. She advises young users to be cautious about what they share online and emphasizes the importance of keeping locations private, dealing carefully with strangers' friend requests, and maintaining a kind demeanor to avoid cyberbullying. Sandy also highlights the deceptive nature of online images, urging children not to compare themselves to the often unrealistic portrayals of body image they see on social media. The poem further addresses how to handle Internet trolls and the importance of setting up privacy settings.

Sandy concludes by reminding children that what they post online stays there forever, urging them to think about the long-term implications of their posts. Overall, the poem encourages safe and responsible behavior on social networks while reinforcing the idea that real beauty and happiness are found beyond the screen.
