20. Setting boundaries ...

21. Tips for dealing with excessive internet use Communicate Talk to their children about what they enjoy doing online and try to understand their interests. Set house rules Work out some boundaries for their children's access to the internet. It is better that children understand what parents expect rather than trying to work it out for themselves. Families can determine some consequences together if the rules are broken. Supervise Make sure they can adequately supervise what their children are doing online, particularly younger children. They can move the computer into a public area of the house to make it easier. Introduce other family activities Ensuring children are exposed to a range of other, non-internet-based activities is a good way to help them lead a balanced lifestyle. http://www.cybersmart.gov.au/

22. Online: Unwanted Contact Online stalking and harassment Online grooming or unwelcome sexual solicitation Cyberbullying

23. Cyberbullying unwilling to go to school feeling unwell in the mornings falling behind in school work and homework suddenly disinterested in the computer becoming withdrawn, distressed, anxious, or lacking confidence becoming aggressive and beginning to bully other children or sibling disturbed or deprived of sleep feeling depressed or crying without reason mood swings becoming anti-social and isolated from peers.

24. What you can do Advise children: Not to communicate or share personal contact details with ‘strangers’, that is, someone they don’t know in real life. Don’t allow strangers onto your contacts list on IM or email. To check with a parent or trusted adult when adding a new contact to their online social network. To ask a parent or carer to assist with the setting up of a new account. Advise young people to: Reflect on how they met the person in question, for example, a friend of a friend, or on a gaming site. Monitor the person’s online presence, including their profiles, network of friends and communications with others. Monitor the tone and content of communications.
