How can you be sure that your child is safe on the Internet? It can be easy if you set the following Internet safety guidelines with your kids.
Among our top ways to stay safe. Remind your kids to:
1. Be careful with strangers on the Internet. Never give out personal information, including your last name, address, phone number or password. If someone asks for any of this information, kids should not respond; they should log off and tell a trusted adult.
2. Never agree to meet anyone without you, the parents, in tow.
3. A child should tell her parents immediately if she ever feel uncomfortable in a chat room or other online situation.
4. Stick with "kid-friendly" websites.
As adults, parents can use software, like My Kids Browser, to insure your child will not be able to access any adult-only websites.

TennisMom2 said...We're very concerned about internet safety for our kids, as they are at the age where they want to play on virtual worlds. Some sites are definitely safer than others, and we limit our kids to sites like Webosaurs that seem very safe to us. I spend a little time there too; you can't be too careful!

Cantori said...Kids really do love virtual worlds. My nephew plays Webosaurs, Club Penguin, and a couple of others, and I've sat with him several times while he was inworld. I was especially impressed by the moderators in Webosaurs. They are adults and are trained. They are very visible in the game and the kids know that they are there to help and keep them safe. I agree with Tennismom2 about spending time in the worlds and games your children frequent. That's the only way to really know what your child is being exposed to.
