Internet Safety
Parents should try to do the following five key things;
1. Start the conversation - Parents start talking with your children about online safety, early in their online life.
2. Agree limits -Parents can download a family agreement template and learn about the importance of setting limits to online time.
3. Be informed - It is important for parents to keep themselves informed about the online world, and this video provides some tips for helping parents stay up to date.
4. How much time was I online today? - Parents can set positive examples regarding online activity to their children through their own online lives.
5. Parents share and learn -The support of parent to parent peer support is fantastic, and this video encourages parents to link in with each other to provide that support network.
