Top Ten Things You Can Do RIGHT NOW to protect your children online.

  1. Talk openly with your child about what they are doing online
  2. Set time limits for online activities and encourage your child to become engaged in other activities
  3. Prohibit the use of the computer to public areas of the home and never behind closed doors
  4. Talk about issues of privacy, and together gain an understanding that if you do it, say it or show it online - it is NEVER private
  5. Talk to other parents about the latest trends, buzz words and lingo so you can recognize the red flags
  6. Check out their online profiles and make sure they aren't giving out any identifying information
  7. Don't blame your child for what they've done online, instead encourage open, honest discussions about what they've done or seen on the web
  8. As with all parenting issues, listen to your child's concerns regarding your involvement with their online activities
  9. Go online yourself, get to know who your kids are chatting with and what they are talking about
  10. Remember that the Internet has tremendous benefits and many positive attributes, don't assume it is all bad
