Here are some basics to keep in mind when the children are
online.
1. Use the parental
controls available on the commercial online services. These
services screen public content and provide online hosts to
monitor chat rooms. Check into filtering software to screen
out adult sites on the Web.
2. Consider placing the
computer in a "family room" in your home and make use of the
Internet a family activity. Check the screen periodically
and let your children know that you are interested in what
they are learning online.
3. Ask your children where they go online, and have them
show you. If your children are more familiar with the
Internet than you are, let them teach you about it, you will
both enjoy the lesson!
4. Monitor online time. Be aware of excessive hours on the
Internet.
5. Make sure your children are aware of online rules. They
should know never to give out their real name, address
and/or telephone number, or agree to meet with someone
person to person. Advise your children that some people on
the Internet conceal their real age and identity. Create a
list of online rules and post them by the computer.
6. Monitor your modem telephone bill. Adult Bulletin Board
Systems are easy to access by any communications software.
Check out any unfamiliar numbers on your bill.
7. Support and encourage your child's use of the Internet,
and participate in new learning experiences. Acquaint
yourself with their online pals and email habits. Be aware
of correspondence with strangers.
