Society is becoming more and more internet savvy and children are learning how to navigate the internet at a much younger age. While there is a lot of good that comes from the internet there is also a lot of bad. Therefore, it is important to teach our kids about how to be safe while using the internet. Here are a few tips about what to teach your children:
- Protect your passwords
- Do not talk to strangers in instant messaging
- Do not open any unknown files
- Make sure that anti-virus is always updated
- Establish ground rules such as: no internet unless a parent is home, when and for how long the internet can be used, what type of websites are appropriate, etc.
These are just a few suggestions. If you are interested in more go to the website, "Internet Safety for Kids" found at http://www.ccmostwanted.com/kids/index.htm
