Online Safety Tips for Parents :)
Just like in the real world, your child's online experiences are better when you're aware, curious, and engaged.
Be Aware :)
- Install filters to protect your child from inappropriate websites.
- Keep tabs on your child’s internet use. Make sure you know what sites your child visits, how much time he or she spends on them, and whom your child is communicating with.
Be Curious :)
- Set limits for screen time to have a balance with real world connections.
- Put the family computer in a public place in your home, such as a kitchen or family room, to encourage an open dialogue and discourage unwanted online behavior.
- Consider not allowing your child to have any connected devices, such as a smartphone, laptop computer, or tablet, in private areas of your home, like a bedroom or bathroom.
Be Engaged :)
- Keep the conversation going. Start talking with your child at an early age about online use and continue the dialogue as your child gets older.
- Know any passwords that your child uses, and explain that they shouldn’t be shared with friends.
