Online Safety for Kids Diana Johnson, Marketing, Wood NetworksOur kids are a special gift entrusted to us to raise, nurture, and teach for about 18 years. They don’t come with an instruction manual and we often forget how different the world is from when we were growing up. One area parents often neglect is the cyber world. As a parent constantly working in the technology arena, I thought I would pass on some tips for dealing with the Internet and the safety of our kids. Kids Under 9
Kids 9 to 12
Kids 13 and up By the age of 13, you should assume your child (now a teenager!) has internet access, whether at home, school, or a friend’s house. Also in this age group they begin exhibiting risky behaviors. For some teens it is a matter of not understanding the implication of their behavior while others are drawn to the thrill of the risk.
The most noteworthy advice I can give you, is not to leave Internet security to firewalls, filters, and other safety measures. The best security you can have on the Internet is talking to your child about the risks and the reasons you are concerned. |
