The ‘three Ts’ all parents should adopt to help their children stay safe online

MANY kids today spend the majority of their free time online - whether its chatting on Facebook Messenger or sharing photos on Snapchat.

Now a new book has revealed the "three Ts" all parents should adopt in order to help keep their children safe while navigating the digital world.

The guidelines are aimed at assisting any parents - many of whom may have only a basic understanding of the latest apps - to ensure their kids don't fall prey to scams or perverts.

The book, written by security expert Will Geddes along with Loose Women's Nadia and Kaye, is designed to help parents set base rules, or can be used as a "crisis management tool".

Will told The Sun Online: "Children inhabit two distinctly different worlds now. The parent needs to take responsibility about who are they talking online too, who are they playing Fortnite with?

"There is a real detachment in society now particularly in younger children where they have these aspirations that they need to be famous, or need exposure. It's not uncommon for kids to have two or three Instagram accounts.

"The way I've written the book is regardless of what advances there are in technology, they are the same elements that need to be had."

Outlined in Parent Alert: How To Keep Your Kids Safe Online are the "three Ts" he suggests all parents follow.
