Dear Parents,
This
generation of parents is the first to face the challenge of helping our
children make the most of their virtual space while keeping them safe in it. If
you're still getting your footing in virtual parenting, don't worry. We have
the following tips to help ensure that your child's online experience remains
positive.
1.
Become a net-savvy parent
The
best safeguard against online dangers is being informed. Jump in and learn the
basics of the Internet—read articles, take a class, and talk to other parents.
You don't have to be an expert to have a handle on your child's online world.
2.
"Chat" with your children
Develop an open dialogue so that you can talk with your
children about the benefits and dangers of the Internet. Cultivate an interest
in
their online activities—their favorite Web sites, online
games, and interests. And don't be afraid to ask your children who
they are talking to online and what they are talking
about.
3.
Agree on a game plan
Use
the following attached agreement to formally agree on your family's guidelines
for using the Internet. Post them near the family computer as a reminder.
Ensure that your children know to never share personal information on the
Internet and that they should tell you about any online activity or contact
that makes them uncomfortable.
4.
Protect your computer
Take
advantage of the software that exists to help parents manage their children's
computer experience. In only a few minutes, parental control software like Safe
Eyes can block inappropriate websites, restrict the amount of time that your
kids use the Internet and monitor their Instant Messenger chats to protect
against predators.
5.
Explore the Internet as a family
With
a game plan and a protected computer, you can now encourage your family to take
advantage of all that the Internet has to offer. Take a genuine interest in
what your children are doing and stay engaged with them online.
AGREEMENT
The following
Agreement establishes the online ground rules for our home.
1. We
will never give out personal information such as our last name, address or
phone number. We should also not give out the name of our
school, our city, our siblings, our
sports team or our
parent's workplace.
2.
We all agree to not give our
passwords
to
anyone outside of our family.
We have all agreed upon user
names to use while we are on the Internet. I will not change the settings for
my computer or my password without my parent's
permission.
3. We
all agree to limit our online time so that it doesn't interfere with other
activities. We agree to follow the time limits that our family sets
and not let the Internet take time away from homework, sports, face-
to-face interactions or family time.
4. I
will never meet an online friend in person. Just as I stay away
from strangers on the street, I will be careful about strangers on the
Internet. If anyone ever asks to meet with me off line, I will notify my
parents
immediately.
5. I
will tell my mom or dad right away if I come across something that makes me
feel uncomfortable. If anyone uses bad language or mentions things
that make me uncomfortable, I will immediately log off and tell my parents.
6.
I will only download pictures and files with my parent's
permission..
7.
I will not send pictures of my family or
myself to anyone online. The only way that I am allowed
to do this is if my parents say it is all right.
8.
I will be safe everywhere. I
will follow the same Internet safety rules at my friends' houses, at
school and at the library that I do while I'm at home.
9. I
understand that nothing is private on the Internet. I
agree that my mom or dad can read my mail or check the sites that I have
been visiting — not because they don't trust me but because they just want to
make sure that I am safe.
