Private Information Stays Private

Children sort information into private (home address, phone number, passwords, photos of themselves) and fine to share (favourite colour or animal), practise stopping to ask a trusted grown-up before typing or saying private information on a device, and learn that a password is a secret key shared only with the family grown-ups who look after them. No real personal information is ever asked for.
