Pause & Think Online

This video teaches children how to navigate the online world safely and responsibly. It emphasizes the importance of thinking critically, balancing screen time, protecting privacy, and showing kindness and respect online.

Use your head when you're online, most especially your mind. Think about the things you see. Ask good questions, that's the key. Use your arms when you're online to take a break and balance time, and leave your tech behind when you find yourself a tree to climb. Turn your head down to your toes. Pause, think about it. Maybe go a little harder. Maybe find your decay. Turn your head down to your toes. Pause, think about it. From your feet up to your nose. Pause and think online. Use your gut when you're online. Pay attention to its signs. Know when it's safe to play. Make good choices every day. Use your legs when you're online. Stand up to bullies who cross the line. You can help friends big or small. Just lend an ear and stand up tall. Turn your head down to your toes. Pause, think about it. From your feet up to your nose. Pause and think online. Use your feet when you're online. Think about the tracks you leave behind. Privacy's the way to go. Don't share with people you don't know. Use your heart when you're online. Always do what's right and kind by showing friends respect and being nice on the internet. So think with your head. Balance with your arms. Listen to your gut. Stand up with your legs. Make good tracks with your feet. And feel with your heart. Just pause and think online. For more information, visit www.FEMA.gov.
