You can make sure that your child's experience on the Internet is safe, educational, and enjoyable. A computer that is connected to the Internet allows you to turn your home, community center, local library, or school into a place of unlimited information and communication. Get help with homework through online encyclopedias and other reference materials and access to experts. Increase reading skills by providing access to interesting materials and suggestions for additional reading. Locate parenting information and swap ideas with other families.
Most people behave reasonably and decently online, but some are rude, mean, or even criminal.
Never share their password, even with friends. Never respond to messages that make them feel confused or uncomfortable. They should ignore the sender, end the communication and inform the parents. Never use bad language or send mean messages online. Also, make sure your children know that people they meet online are not always who they say they are and that online information is not necessarily private.
