There are probably places on the Internet you don't want your children going, so as they get older, you need to be prepared. Today, your kids have online access not only from home, but possibly from many other places as well, like friend's houses, school or phones, if they have one. It is important to keep your children safe while they are online, but you still want to let them take advantage of the resources of the Internet. Since your children have many ways and places to access the internet you should remember that. To monitor your children's use on the Internet will ultimately come down to trust because they will use it more than at home.

It is a good idea to find out what kind of precautions the schools take in protecting your children when they have access to the internet while on school property. You need to be sure that your children don't ever go out and meet somebody they don't know offline in any place that's public. Although this might appear to be obvious to yourself, it isn't necessarily obvious to young children who are new to the world wide web. Also they should never talk to strangers in private, be it on the internet (like in a private chat room) or by the phone. Online predators typically target children in public chatrooms and then try to get them to a more private setting, whether on or offline.

Connect with your child online so you can keep track of what they are up to. You should learn more about the internet if you do not know as much as your child, as this is often the case.

You do not have to do this is a heavy-handed way, just use the internet as another way to stay in touch. Every so often you should send your child an instant message or an email. Your child is in their own universe and this will keep you in it as well.

The online world is merely another place where your children must be protected, as they have always needed to be. By following the tips given in this article, in addition to placing some limits to your children's internet usage, you should have nothing to worry about at all.
