Keeping kids safe online
The internet is a handy platform to upload, download
and share data. It provides entertainment, connects the whole world with each
other and is an excellent place to do business.
The internet can be wonderful for kids. They can use
it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and play interactive
games.
Parents should get involved to make sure that their child knows the risks, as well as the rewards of the internet. They should permit limited usage of the internet.
Keep the kids insight by having the computer centrally located. Check the browser history to know where your child goes online and check the sites regularly.
Use this overview to understand what kids love to do online and what risks go along with the rewards.
One should know who your child talks to online and tell him not to exchange personal information.
Set a code of conduct by setting guidelines about suitable language, content and behaviour.
Help your child think critically about the content he / she reads and sees.
