Internet Safety

As families, we are always concerned about exactly how safe the internet really is for children. With the advancement of computers and technology today, children learn how to use computers and surf the internet at young ages. While children may seem quite knowledgable, it is still our responsibility to be sure that they are safely using the internet and being protected. Below are some steps you can take to protect your child and how you can use the internet with them as well.

1. Explain to your child about how the Internet can be used. It can be used for fun, learning and entertainment, too. Also let them know about the possible dangers without scaring them too much. Tell them not to speak with other online strangers and never tell anybody their name, age, where they iive, telephone number, or any other personal information.

2. Check out the security of your Internet browser. Be sure that it blocks out any possible harmful material and block websites that you would not want your child to visit. Password protect those websites so that only you would have access to them.
