Tips for Parents to share with their kids on surfing the internet:
-
Discuss what sorts of websites they may visit.
-
Discuss what to do if they accidentally stumble upon an inappropriate website.
-
Encourage them to come to you with questions if material puzzles or disturbs them.
-
Be sure they come to you before spending money on the Internet.
-
Place the computer in a quiet "public" room (i.e., family room, living room, or den) to make online exploration a group activity.
-
Use software and online services that filter inappropriate material.
-
Discuss when to - and when not to - use email and chat rooms.
-
Decide on a screen name that you both know about, and make sure it is not the child's real name. Also keep a family list of all passwords.
