Do you know how to help protect your children when they are online?
You need to know what your kids are doing when on the web and on their mobiles.
If you don't understand what programs and applications they are using - ask them to teach you. Also, keep a 'family computer' in a family room - in this way you can share (and check upon) your chiildrens online experience.
Teach your children that they SHOULD NEVER, EVER GIVE OUT PERSONAL DETAILS TO ONLINE FRIENDS. This includes email address and mobile phone numbers.
Make sure your children understand that some people lie online and its better to keep the online friend world separate from real life. And try and ensure real-life friends also understand this. And most of all they MUST NEVER MEET ANY STRANGERS WITHOUT YOU. THIS INCLUDES ANYONE 'KNOWN' FROM ONLINE ACTIVITIES.
Make sure your children feel comfortable in talking to you about anyone online.
