For parents and teachers
Password Power: Keeping passwords private
For kids ages 4 to 12. Watch together, then use these to keep the conversation going.
What your child learns
Passwords are private, like a key to your house.
Never share a password with friends, strangers or game characters.
Only a parent or trusted adult should know your passwords.
Talk about it
Why do you think passwords should be secret, even from friends?
What would you do if someone in a game asked for your password?
Who in our family is allowed to know your passwords?
Try this at home
Make up a long, silly password phrase together, then keep it in a safe place only grown-ups can see.
Practise a polite answer: "Sorry, my password is private."
