Ā 

Stay Sharp. Stay Safe. Stay Foxy.

šŸ”‘ Safe Word = Secret Shield
Create a code word with your trusted adults. If a message feels off, ask for the safe word.

šŸŽ­Ā Don’t Get Tricked by Fakes
Voices and videos can be faked! Always double check with a phone call or face-to-face.

🧠 Trust Your Gut & Check Twice
If it seems weird, pause. Don’t click or respond unless you're sure it’s safe.

🤐 Keep Your Info Private
No full names, school names, addresses, or phone numbers online. Even in ā€œfunā€ games.

šŸ“ø Post with Pause
Would you be okay if your grandma, teacher, or your future self saw it? If not, don’t post.

šŸ¤ Respect Yourself & Others
Never share or forward pics/vids that are embarrassing, mean, or private.

šŸ•µļøā€ā™€ļø Set Accounts to Private
Only accept friend requests or messages from people you actually know.

šŸ” Password Like a Pro
Use funny phrases or mix emojis, numbers, & letters. Ex: 🌮TreeDance!77

šŸ’¬ No Shame, Just Say It
If you feel scared, confused, or unsure—talk to an adult you trust. Always.

🚫 Don’t Click Sketchy Stuff
ā€œYou won a prize!ā€ or ā€œClick this linkā€ = 🚨 Just don’t.

A note to the Grown UpsĀ 

šŸ§ šŸ’¬ Dear Grown-Ups: Why This Matters...

In a world where tweens carry more tech in their pockets than we had in an entire classroom, digital safety isn’t just a lesson—it’s a life skill. With the rise of AI-generated fake voices, images, and videos, even savvy kids can be tricked by something that looks or sounds real.

That’s why we created Dr. Troot’sĀ  Digital Safety Habits Checklist—a fun, foxy guide to help kids stay smart, safe, and confident online.Ā Because every tween deserves to know how to click with caution, and always know they’ve got a trusted adult in their corner.

🦊✨ Stay foxy, stay safe,
