If your children are like most, they can’t wait to explore the internet with all its games, videos, apps, and social sites. Like the real world, the web isn’t always a safe place for children. Start with easy ways to protect them as they play and learn online.
In plain sight Set up computers in plain view in a central location where you are likely to pass by several times a day. If something doesn’t seem right, you can intervene and counsel your kids as it happens. Knowing that you might see them surfing somewhere they shouldn’t will help keep kids on the right track. Set and reinforce understandable rules for internet usage and help kids to remember and follow these guidelines.
