tips for Parents
|
There's
a lot of great stuff on the Internet, but your guidance and involvement
are essential to help steer children towards the best sites and away from
potential trouble. To ensure a safe surfing on the internet, go over the
points below with your children.
-
Surf the
net together. Take the time to see what your children are doing online
and what their interests are.
-
Teach
your children never to give out their personal information to people they
meet online especially in public places like chat rooms and bulletin boards.
-
Instruct
your child never to plan a face-to-face meeting alone with online acquaintances.
-
Tell your
child not to respond when they receive offensive or dangerous email, chat,
or other communications.
-
Establish
clear ground rules for Internet use for your kids. Decide whether or not
to use parental control tools or protective software.
-
Place
your computer in the family room or another open area of your home. Or
use the computer together at a library, school, or community center.
-
Keep lines
of communication open between you and your child so that he/she will feel
at ease to approach you when in doubt.
Education
and proper guidance is the best way to protect our young ones when they
go online. Barring them from using the internet totally is not the solution.
