Child Safety on the Internet

The most important thing to tell your children before they are free to use the internet is, never give out personal information about yourself! Child safety blocks on the family computer are a great tool for keeping children from seeing inappropriate material online. As the article I have referred here says, it is very easy for a child who is looking up Lego to type in legs by accident. The child may have no intention of looking at inappropriate pictures, but with this simple error that is exactly what may come up as a result. Internet safety for children does not have to be a worry for parents if it is handled early and correctly. Children should be showed the correct way to use the internet, and to ask an adult about anything they come upon that they are unsure about. An informed child and a security system for the internet can keep the internet safe for children.
