Why Should You Monitor Your Child’s Internet Usage?
Unfortunately, children abuse their internet privileges when they are not monitored. Sometimes this is accidental, but other times it is not. Some parents think that it is okay to let them have free reign over internet sites if they are just being a kid. The internet can be a very dangerous place if your child is not monitored. I recently read an article titled, “Here Are 10 Reasons to Monitor Your Childs’ Internet Usage” found at www.resources.uknowkids.com. This article gave 10 great reasons to keep a close eye on what your children are doing online. I have listed these reasons below:
1. Cyber Bullying happens. Know what is going on with your child.
2. Sexting is becoming more common on the internet.
3. There are online predators that are very sneaky.
4. Check for alerts that may be popping up.
5. Be active and present to stop trouble before it happens.
6. Help your child protect personal information.
7. Help keep your child’s reputation safe.
8. Keep you and your child’s identity protected.
9. Help protect your computer from viruses.
10. Protect your child from screen time.
I hope these tips are helpful!
