Keeping Your Kids Safe on the Web
So your kids have reached an age where they’re online a lot and you’re concerned about their safety. The information age is changing things and you’ve got to be prepared to protect them online with the internet clear service, too. Here are the best ways to go about it
Get Some Software: There’s tons of free and paid software available that will track your kids’ websites and passwords for you so you don’t have to guess what they’re doing online. As long as they know what you’re up to you shouldn’t feel guilty about being proactive.
Talk to Them: It’s important to sit down and have a conversation with your kids about what’s expected of them online. Talk not only about online predators but about the way information can be stolen, too, so they won’t risk ruining their fledgling credit.
Monitor Their Time: Make sure you’ve got a limit for online time in your house – no child should spend hours each day in front of a computer. For ages 12-14 one hour per day is recommended and it can be upped to 2 hours for older children to chat and do schoolwork.
