When something scary pops up
🪟pop-up🙈look away📴turn it off🙋tell a grown-up
Look away. Turn it off. Tell.
The big ideaWhen a pop-up jumps out: look away, turn it off, tell a grown-up.

How it works

A pop-up can flash and it can be loud.

It is only a trick to make you press. It is not a big problem.

Step one: look away. Step two: close it, or turn the screen off.

Step three: tell a grown-up, who can fix it.
