The internet is indeed a worldwide web where almost anything we should need or want can be found, but remember – it’s also a web in which children could find themselves in danger.
Children can be just as vulnerable online as they are in the real world and it’s important that you understand the potential dangers. There are things you can do to minimize the chance of them being exposed to these danger.
Safety Tips
- Talk to your children about the potential dangers they face online.
- If possible, locate your computer in a family room and try to make the computer a shared family experience.
- Encourage your children to talk to you about anything they experience online that upsets them or makes them feel uncomfortable.
- Restrict the content that can be accessed from your computer. Many Internet security solutions let you do this. In addition, Internet Explorer includes a Content Advisor that can help you do this (this can be found under Tools | Internet Options | Content ).
- Provide guidelines for them on what they may, or may not, do. Here are some of the things you should think about.
- Sexually explicit (or other inappropriate) content cant be accessed by adding porn block software installed before hand.
