Practicing Internet Safety at Home
-
The Internet is a wonderful tool anyone can use to gain knowledge in any field or subject of interest. It is also a vehicle where individuals can communicate with others worldwide. The information of the world is literally at our fingertips, … and the fingertips of our children!
-
In addition to all of the useful and educational information available on the Internet, some real dangers are there too. We must be aware that a great deal of Internet content is not appropriate for children. That is why it is increasingly important to have excellent safeguards in place such as website-filtering software. Without safeguards, children can easily be exposed to inappropriately explicit material; hate or racist web sites; promotional material about tobacco, alcohol, or drugs; graphic violence; and cyber bullying.
-
Another real danger is children and teens can become targets of cyber-stalking by predators through e-mail, chat rooms, instant messaging; or possibly harassed by repeated, unwanted, rude or threatening contact through the Internet. Predators lure innocent and bored kids by befriending them under false pretenses and false identification.
-
1. Talk openly about the importance of Internet Safety with your children. Parental involvement is crucial.
2. Set up the home computer in a common area where parental supervision can easily take place.
3. Take time to learn about Internet dangers and how your family can practice safety!
