We can't be the only one bingewatching Netflix, right?! Here are the books that inspired the binge worthy series!

Every child is taught basic physical safety and security, like not talking to strangers and fastening seat belts before driving. Teaching young people easy-to-learn life lessons for online safety and privacy begins with parents leading the way. Help your children understand that any information they share online can easily be copied and is almost impossible to take back. Teach them to consider who might see a post and how it might be perceived in the future. Information about... your kids, such as the games they like to play and what they search for online, has value just like money. Talk to your kids about the value of their information and how to be selective with the information they provide to apps and websites. Remind children and family members about the golden rule and that it applies online as well. What they do online can positively or negatively impact other people. Start the conversation about the public nature of the internet early. Learn about and teach your kids how to use privacy and security settings on their favorite online games, apps and platforms. Pay attention to and know the online environments your children use. Help them to identify safe and trusted websites and apps. Encourage them to be cautious about clicking on, downloading, posting and uploading content.

Your devices make it easy to connect to the world around you, but they can also pack a lot of info about you and your friends and family, such as your contacts, photos, videos, location and health and financial data. Follow these tips to manage your privacy in an always-on world. Secure your devices. Think before you app. Get savvy about WiFi hotspots. Keep your mobile phone and apps up to date. Delete when done.

We are kicking off January with the shape of the month!

What you post will last forever: Be aware that when you post a picture or message online, you may also be inadvertently sharing personal details with strangers about yourself and family members like where you live. Post only about others as you would like to have them post about you! The golden rule applies online as well. Own your online presence: It’s OK to limit who can see your information and what you share. Learn about and use privacy and security settings on your favorite websites.
