But let's be honest: One day a year isn't enough.

Kids don't only pick up their phones on February 10. They watch videos at breakfast, chat after school, play games on weekends. Online safety isn't an event. It's everyday life. That's why Safer Internet Day should really be called Safer Internet Year.

It's not about checking off a list once a year. It's about small, manageable steps that become habits. A conversation here, a setting there. No panic, no surveillance mode, just guidance.

We've put together our best resources to help you with that - not just today, but every day.
