(snip)Communicate

Communication is one of the most important parts of keeping everyone in your family safe online. Create a contract with your kids of times it’s okay to be online. Include in the contract that your kids should let you know if strangers ever contact them.

The “don’t talk to strangers” rule still applies on the Internet.

Monitor your family online

Don’t allow your kids to surf the Web without knowing exactly what Web sites they frequent. Keep the computer in the living room or even next to the refrigerator if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
