Kids- ask your parents first before going online.

Parents

Agree with your child rules for Internet use in your home

Try to reach an agreement with your child on the guidelines which apply to Internet use in your household. Here are some tips to get started:

• Discuss when and for how long it is acceptable for your child to use the Internet

• Agree how to treat personal information (name, address, telephone, e-mail)

• Discuss how to behave towards others when gaming, chatting, e-mailing or messaging

• Agree what type of sites and activities are OK or not OK in our family

• Follow the rules yourself! Or at least explain why the rules are different for adults.

Ask your child show you which websites they like visiting and what they do there.
