Do you know where your kids go online? 
A recent Common Sense Media survey, examined how social networking and other Internet usage are affecting kids and families. The survey indicated that many parents had no idea their children were using social networking sites at a young age, and few parents actively supervise their kids' Internet use.
The survey also found that many teens, unbeknownst to their parents, are using the Internet as a forum for gossip, blowing off steam, bullying and engaging in risqué behavior online.
As parents, guardians and other concerned adults, we encourage you to use Internet Safety Rules N' Tools to help start a discussion with your kids TODAY about where they are going and what they are doing online! |
| Social Networking 101
In
the online world, social networking sites have become a predominant forum for
kids to present themselves, seek approval, and describe their interests. Teens use these pages as a place to feature everything in their
heads and hearts that they want people to know about. The central feature of these
sites is the ability to connect with people and share information, and it is vitally important for parents to communicate with kids about their use of these sites to stay safe! To find out more about protecting kids on these sites, click HERE!

Rules N' Tools
Tip of the Month!
Set time limits: Excessive time online, especially at night, may indicate a problem. Remind your child that internet use is a privilege, not a right. If necessary, utilize time-limiting software, which allows parents to manage the amount of time and times of day children are allowed online.
