Age Requirements for email accounts
The permissible age to create an email account is 13 years.
If a child is below 13 years of age and requires an email access, then parents
or guardians can let them use their account.
It is highly recommended to create another email for kids
use other than your regular email.
Never click on links received from the strangers. They might
contain malicious content or codes that can destroy or contaminate your PC or
it might take you to phishing sites.
You need to educate kids that they should not click or call
numbers that comes from unknown links or people. Or to simplify the things, you
can create Apple ID for children under 13 years so that they can participate in
family sharing and use other apple services such as icloud, imessage, facetime
and game center.
This will keep a close check on kids cyber world and also
gives an opportunity to avoid unncessesary financial transactions.
But don’t think parental control can replace adult’s live
supervision and guidance. Constant monitoring and occasional conversations can
often help kids to know that you can solve their problems if they arise. Kids
can be safeguarded from the abusive people and inappropriate content. In case,
you are not internet savvy, connect them to some responsible adult you can
approve like uncles, aunts or grownup cousins. So that kids can go to them and
explain the uneasiness and uncomfortable zones they enter unknowingly.
In this way, we can help our kids to be safe from cybercrimes.
