Six out of ten Latin American children use the internet for their school studies. The digitalization of education has reached six out of ten Latin American children, transforming families' relationship with technology and cybersecurity. According to Tricarico, parents' role must evolve from traditional supervision to active participation in their children's digital education, prioritizing dialogue and constant prevention. Cybersecurity experts suggest implementing preventive strategies at home to mitigate vulnerabilities. This includes establishing specific schedules for device use and placing equipment in common areas to facilitate supervision. It is also recommended to review settings on digital platforms to limit the exposure of personal data, location, and details about the educational institution. Responsible interactions are key: instructing children on the importance of only interacting with people known in real life and reporting any suspicious behavior. The use of technological solutions is presented as an ally for families. This trend confirms the natural integration of technology into the regional education system, where 36% of minors use messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram to coordinate with classmates, while 40% have increased their presence on social media, despite existing regulations in various educational centers. The transition to a digitized educational environment is not happening only in the classrooms; upon returning home, students continue to use computers, tablets, and smartphones to research, do homework, or stream content. Tools like Kaspersky Safe Kids allow for managing screen time, blocking inappropriate content, and monitoring digital activity without compromising the student's autonomy.
