Golden Rules For family Internet usage

1. Keep personal information confidential. For example don't give out your name, age, or phone number.
2. Get to know the services and websites that your child uses.
3. Don't believe everything you read or see online.
4. Encourage children to tell you about anything they find that is suggestive, obscene, threatening or makes them feel uncomfortable.
5. Don't immediately blame the child if they receive or access something obscene - this may have been done accidentally.
6. Use the Internet as a family activity and if possible, keep the computer in a family room rather than in a child's bedroom.
7. Try to get to know your child's online friends as you would their other friends.
8. Try not to use the PC or the Internet as an electronic babysitter.
9. Set your own golden rules and after discussing them, stick them at the side of the computer.
10. Enjoy surfing!
