Where we simplify we say so. The framework for the parent-child conversation has been reviewed by clinicians who specialise in adolescent online harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this for boys or girls?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth. The current FBI data shows a particular surge in financial sextortion targeting boys aged 14–17 — that's covered explicitly. The grooming patterns affecting girls are also covered.

The detailed sextortion section is more relevant from age 11 upward. The midnight rule and device setup applies the moment a phone is in the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this make me paranoid?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo, by design. The guide is explicit that fear has a half-life of about a week — what works is calm preparation, not panic.
