Children generally know more about the Internet than their parents. There is no specific way that will protect them from pornography. At the end of the day, it is a question of character development.
The best way to keep your child safe online is to get on the internet yourself to learn how they use it. This will help you to set reasonable rules.You can make sure your child is safe online by using technical parental controls and creating your own rules.
- block selected websites and email addresses by adding them to a filter list
- set time limits for use
- prevent your child from searching certain words
Parent's direct asking rather than using filters or other technical tools, is the best way of finding out whether the child has gone online. The parent's ability to talk openly with their children is very helpful in winning their confidence and protecting them from the harms of the Internet.
There should be certain guidelines for the use of the Internet at home. The right place for the computer should be in the family room with an open view to any of the family members. Privacy of the child should also be considered.
Internet have become unavoidable thing nowadays. Its not a mater of saying the children not to use the computer but to use it in correct way.
Internet should be your child's knowledge feeder and not the poison feeder.
