to Kids About
Internet Safety

2. 1) Talk Internet Safety
Make an Internet Safety talk an essential, ongoing part of the dialogue that you
have with your child. Suggest there may be some accounts worth keeping
private, as password sharing has become a common practice among kids.
Explain the importance of privacy and protecting your personal identity online,
and let your kids know that if they ever encounter anything online that makes
them uncomfortable, that they should come to you to talk about it.
3. 2) Set Boundaries
It’s crucial for parents to keep their children interested and engaged with
the real world. Kids who are limited on their use of screens tend to have
higher attention spans, live healthier lifestyles and are more empathetic to
other children and adults they meet.
Download an application like OurPact, which will help you monitor your
child’s Internet time and block or permit screen time remotely. OurPact lets
you take action without having to physically take away their mobile device,
and allows you to set daily ‘screen time allowances’ in advance.
4. 3) Getting Social
Remember that times have changed, and the way kids socialize today is very different.
Make an effort to help your kids find ways to integrate the online social life they’ve
built with the real world, you can help them foster lifelong friendships. Offer to take
them to museums and parks, encourage them to play outside, or allow them to
choose a new sport or activity and then have them signed up for an after-school
program. It may adjust their perspectives.
