| 1. Monitor the child's use of
networking and the service they are using. Don't
be afraid to ask them what they are saying,
posting and friending. |
| 2.
Encourage the child to discuss with you
if they feel
someone is
creating an
atmosphere of
anxiety or fear.
Be the loving
parent or
teacher and
stress that they
are not in
trouble and you
are only
interested in
working with
them to overcome
their concerns. |
| 3. You set the rules for use
such as time, content, and location of the
computer. Don't allow them to express emotions,
use their full names or their friend's full
names, school locations, address, age, sex,
schedules and any other personal information
that can be used by cyber predators.

contact the
authorities. |

require an age limit. If you see the child using
an inappropriate site, delete the site. |

Teachers, if you
see a child

school policy
about the use of
tablets, smartphones and computers. Don't make it
confrontational. |
| 7. Stress that child never
under any circumstances meet and communicate
with someone they don't know. |
| 8. Discuss
Cyberbulling
and let them know that you are
the person they can come to if
this is happening. Teachers and
parents should be the first line
of defense in this growing
problem |
| 9. If your child refuses to
abide by your rules. Don't be hesitant to delete
their account and establish safeguards to
prevent them from reestablishing an account..
Some internet-filtering tools such as
Windows Live Family Safety can be used but
not replace your supervision. |
| 10. Always be
vigilant to the dangers of
Social Media and your children! |
