Technology is one of the fastest growing industries in the marketplace. Children are learning younger than ever to become computer literate and are using the Internet both at home and at school. Because the Internet is an anonymous medium, online safety is an important issue for parents and children to consider.
To help keep your children safe on the Internet:
- Make sure you supervise your children's online activity.
- Keep the computer in a common area of the house, such as the family room, to make keeping a watchful eye a little easier.
- Make a habit of checking the computer's Internet history to find out where your children have been surfing. You can do this by clicking the preference option on your browser.
- Invest in child-safe software, available at software or electronics stores and on the Internet. In chat rooms it is impossible to know whether the 12-year old at the other end of your child's conversation is really a child or a 43-year old man with not-so-honest intentions.
- Teach your children to NEVER give any personal identifying information, such as a full name, an address, phone number, school or favorite hangouts
