For parents & teachers

Talk about it together

  • Agree three family rules: pause when rushed, call back on a number you know, and never keep a request secret from family.
  • Encourage two-way help: children can help grandparents with tech, and grandparents can share their instincts.
  • Remind everyone that real banks never ask you to move money to a "safe account" or keep it from family.
  • Print a family code word card and keep it somewhere private.
