Settings, apps, games, chats and, above all, the agreement that lets a child bring you a problem.

Does your child know that telling you about a problem online will not get them punished or lose them the phone?
Do you know which apps and games your child actually talks in?
Are purchases and card linking restricted?
Have you gone through the privacy settings together: who sees the profile, the photos and the location?
Does your child know the rule: any request to send a photo, follow a link or keep a secret from parents is shown to you first?
Are your child's accounts protected with separate passwords and two-factor authentication?
Does your child know what to do if they are being bullied or blackmailed in a chat?
Have you discussed that photographs and voices can be forged with AI?
