How Do You Keep Kids Safe Online?
Kids these days spend a lot of time using the computer. Follow these tips to keep them safe. Educate your kids: Talk to them about the possible dangers. Tell them to never give out their personal information, including phone numbers, address, name, etc. Tell them what to do if a stranger makes contact and to always let you know immediately. Set ground rules. Let your kids know what is allowed and what isn’t. Use parental controls. Block sites that you don’t want them to have access to. Parental controls are usually a feature of your internet security program. Monitor your kids. Keep their computer where you can see them online, and take a look at their buddy lists on a regular basis for any red flags. Ask your kids on a regular basis what it is they’re doing online, what their favorite sitses are, if they are blogging, etc. Never let your guard down for a minute!
