History of Child Safe Web Surfing

ParentsDirect History
of Safe Surfing

 

There are a lot of fun and educational things to do on the web for kids. There are also a lot of people and web sites, and you need to be careful. Here’s some things to remember:

  • Never give out your full name, address, or phone number without your parent’s permission.
  • Do not enter contests without asking your parents first.
  • Check with your parents before downloading programs to your computer.
  • If someone sends you something abusive or that makes you uncomfortable, let your parents or
    teacher know.
  • Never agree to meet someone you’ve met on the net without your parent’s permission and an escort.
  • Follow the rules you and your parents have set up regarding your use of the net and your behavior.
  • Treat others on the internet the way you want to be treated! They are people, not computers!

Learn how to use the web at Welcome to the Web

Visit Kid Safety On the Internet for lots of great information about keeping yourself safe – both on and off the net.

Tons of information about safe surfing and fun kid sites can be found at Family Internet at About.com.
