9. How can I help my child?
• Ask Questions: "Did you use your NEOs today?" "What are you doing
when you go to the computer lab?"
• Limit Screen Time: Set limits for what your child does online. Maybe
you wish to limit/disable the web feature for your child's iPod Touch,
iPad, etc.
• Put the "tech" in full view: At 3rd and 4th grade you should always
know when your child is online. If there is a computer in their bedroom,
it is more difficult to monitor their online activities.
• Create online family time: Skype the cousins, create a family vacation
blog, post pictures for family members to see on a photo sharing site --
all are great ways to teach your child online skills and boundaries
• Consult with the school: Your child's teacher is your first/best
resources, but there are many staff members who can provide
additional information
