Is it a good idea to freeze my kids' credit?

I have a 10 year old and a 5 year old, can I do a "credit freeze" for them in order to protect them from identity theft?

In most cases their age will not allow them to be extended credit for several more years. If theft occurred and their ages were incorrect, there would be a low likely hood if issues for them. A credit watch guard or notification service may help ease your fears. There are many such services available, be sure to check the fine print for annual or start up costs.
