Simple Ways to Protecting
Children
Online
Always get to know your child’s online habits - the sites they visit, what they
do, the people they meet and their online friends
Stay alert to any sudden changes in their mood, appearance, habits or
increased secretiveness
Let your child know they are free to talk to you about anything at any time
Teach your children to never give out their personal information over the
Internet
Spend some time surfing the Internet yourself
Place your child’s computer in an area of your home where you can easily
monitor their Internet activity
Monitor the amount of time your child spends online
Install Internet filtering software on your computer
