34. Dec 2008 PTA meeting Mr. Julian Lim, from www.asknlearn.com, spoke at the December PTA general meeting. He told parentsthat they have a responsibility to become part of the cyber/virtual reality world so that they can speak intelligently with their children about using the Internet. Parents should be actively involved in their children’s computer time as early as possible. Computers in the home should be in a family zone so that it is easy to see who is doing what on line (not in child’s bedroom). Children should be given limits as to the time of day and length of time on the computer (only effective if parents enforce the rules). It is important that our children understand that they should never give personal information– full name, age, address, etc. on websites. They must CHAT online only with people they know OFF LINE. Cyber bullying is a real problem today. Monitor you children’s emails for rude or hurtful communication. Counsel your own children on what is appropriate language for emails. They should report abusive emails to parents, school or even authorities if necessary. Playing online games has become a social aspect of computer use for our children. Parents must be careful that children do not avoid real friend time for virtual friend time. Gaming addiction is a real danger.
