Become computer literate. Learn how to block objectionable material.
Keep the computer in a common area. Keep it where you can watch and monitor your child. Avoid putting a computer in your child's bedroom.
Share an email account with younger children. That way, you can monitor who is sending messages to your child.
Bookmark your child's favorite sites. Your child will have easy access and be less likely to make a type that could lead him or her to inappropriate content.
Spend time online together. Teach your child appropriate online behavior.
Forbid your child from entering private chat rooms. Block the chat rooms with safety features provided by your Internet service provider or with special filtering software. Be aware that posting messages to chat rooms reveals your child's email address to others.
Find out about online protection elsewhere. Find out what, if any, online protection is offered by your child's school, after-school center, friends' homes, or any place where he or she could use a computer without your supervision.
