Top Seven Tips to Keeping Kids Safe Online

By Kenna McHugh
TODAY'S kids are growing up in a world where the Web is part of their everyday lives, social networking sites have always existed and buying music online is as common as browsing record stores once was for their parents. But the more your kids explore online, the more they are at risk from predators and the more they put your PC and privacy at risk.

To help ensure kids’ Internet safety, parents need to know how to educate their children about staying safe online and manage their kids’ Internet experiences. And although the task may sound challenging, there are some websites that offer some simple solutions or tips that every family can use to help make their kids’ online experiences safe ones.

SafeKids, FBI and GetNetWise are a few sites that are helpful. Families can peruse those sites to help them. In the meantime, here are eight simple tips to keep kids online experience safe.

  1. Share the Web with your kids – and use this time to talk about appropriate online behavior.
  2. Teach your kids to trust their instincts – and tell you if they feel nervous about anything online.
  3. If your kids use instant messaging, visit chat rooms or play online video games that require a login name, help them choose a name that doesn’t reveal any personal information.
  4. Explain to your kids that part of staying safe online includes keeping their “real world” information private – so they should never give out their address, phone number, or personal details, including where they go to school or like to play.
  5. Tell your kids that they should never meet online friends in person – people aren’t always who they say they are.
  6. Explain that making illegal copies of other people’s work, such as music, video games, etc., is just like stealing it from a store.
  7. Teach your kids that not everything they read or see online is true. Encourage them to ask you if they’re not sure.
Webroots suggests that besides talking with your children about internet usage, one of the most critical components of keeping kids safe online is managing their Web-based activities. Using a security solution such as Webroot Internet Security Complete might be helpful and provide protection from questionable Websites by providing users with a security rating next to each search result as well as a warning if users attempt to visit a malicious site. It’s a good idea to partner with your kids to help them develop good online habits. Once those habits are truly owned by your kids, you can give them more and more freedom to explore and enjoy the wealth of great information the Web has to offer.

Internet has both positives and disadvantages. Children can be attracted by the negative culture provided by the online resources that can affect them badly. Taking the necessary steps to prevent this unsafe nature is very essential, as it is the sole responsibility of parents to mold them into good individuals.

Some workplaces are required to or choose to install fixed extinguishing systems. OSHA considers these fire-detecting sprinkler systems be one of the most effective ways of fighting a fire. They detect fire immediately and extinguish it before the fire can spread. Waiting for the fire department to respond could waste valuable minutes. If the workplace includes this type of system, employers are required to include the system in their action plan. They must also train a select group of employees on how to act in case the system malfunctions. Employers may also supply portable fire extinguishers, as long as they properly train employees on how to use them and include this information in the emergency action plan. Thanks a lot.

It's our responsibility as parents to guide our kids in using the internet. It's all about the constant and open communication between the parent and the child. Let them be informed about the harm of going online.

Thanks for sharing!
