Internet Safety Rules For Children

Friday, August 23, 2013
We just need to apply some rules, including the permission to access the internet only on holidays, having to be accompanied mommy/ daddy, and provide an understanding of what sites should not be opened because there is no benefit to be opened, as well as a time limit for the child can 'roam' in cyberspace.
 
Limit the use of the internet / computer, for example, only 30 minutes every day. Surely there must be tailored to the child's age and needs. The children were also given perngertian that homework, school projects, or other tasks must be completed first before they play internet / computer. Make internet / computer as a reward that would be obtained after carrying out duties, so that they also appreciate the time computing / surfing them.
Computers should also be placed in the 'public' in the house, so that children do not isolate yourself from the people around him, and at the same time parents can also 'peek' what is accessible to the child. If necessary, Pearl recommends that parents sit with children so that children feel encouraged, and parents also felt confident, what are the things children are safe.
 
That children are not fun in the virtual world, always connect the child's interest for computer play with everyday life. For example, if he loves the game animals in a game, invite he also visited the zoo or keep animals in the house. Or if he likes the game the police or the army in the computer, take it occasionally interact with real police officer or soldier.
All that will make kids want to keep socializing with the environment and not just focus on the game on the computer / internet. Parents should also provide an alternative to other activities for children in order to fill time depends not only on the computer such as playing a bike, or gardening.
Own parents certainly do not continuously be in front of the computer, continuously playing computer games, constantly surfing the internet, or are constantly busy with his Blackberry indefinitely. Children learn by imitating, you know! If you saw a parent can do all that without limits, he will do the same.
 
Virtual world with all its charm - favorite games, the opportunity to play certain characters, the opportunity to not be yourself, pretend strong, powerful, or find new friends without having to meet face to face - all that could be a very enjoyable occasion, especially for the shy or less confident children.
