Some parents fear that their child may find something on the Internet that they do not wish for them to see, or may encounter someone that they do not want their child to meet. But do not fear there are steps that can be taken to increase the safety of your child's time on the Internet. Parent's can have control over their child's Internet time either directly or indirectly. The parents set the options, so there is complete parental control. There are many other programs that can be used for this purpose.
Parents can also have direct control over their child's access to the Internet.
By sitting with the child as they surf the Internet, you maintain control over which sites are visited and which ones are not. Children may eventually find things on the Internet that you do not want them to see. Your best idea is to calmly explain to them that you do not approve and help them to find what it is that they are looking for. Meeting people on the Internet is inevitable if your child likes to go into chat rooms. There are people in the rooms that you may not wish for them to talk to.
