So, what advice can you give a child if they come across something scary or disturbing online? Tell them to:
Stop – what they’re doing and turn off their screen or shut down their device
Breathe – pause and stay calm

Talk – they should find a trusted adult to talk to about what they’ve seen and how they feel
