Internet Safety

Tips for Parents

Set ground rules for online use. This includes setting limits on screen time, discussing what websites and apps are appropriate, and talking about the importance of privacy.
Monitor your child's online activity. This doesn't mean you have to read every text message or email, but you should be aware of the websites and apps your child is using.
Talk to your child about online safety. This includes talking about the risks of cyberbullying, online predators, and inappropriate content.
Teach your child how to be a critical thinker. This means helping them evaluate the information they find online and to identify reliable sources.
Install parental controls on your child's devices. This can help you block inappropriate content and track your child's online activity.
