Online safety of child 2

Hi .....remaining of tomorrow...

Teach them to beware of strangers:

always teach them not to responce on unknowns and those sites which are unnecessary for them.Idonot expect my children to behave online much different than the real world and therfore i explains them about hackers being a type of criminal that breaks into your house through computer rather than the window.

I also dont allow ythem to open unsolicited sites and email attachments.

Once you have written something you can't delete .

once you  have written something you can't delete it despite what are google doing in Europe,the right to be forgotten does not apply everywhere..Don't be frightened to ask for help either,there's lots of places and people who can show you what t

to do and how to behave to get Safe On-line.

Not just tell them rules but also spend time with them.

My kids use Facebook ,Instagram,Twitter etc and i have asked them to be friend mw on all their apps.The next advice i have given them is if they are posting a p

icture or a comment then it doesn't belong in the public domain at all.

Become friend and contacts in your child's social media.

"Make sure your children ONLY message and accept friend and contact request from people they know".Make sure you as a parent,become friends and contacts within your child's social media circle

and ensure monitor posts.Ask to see their mobiles periodically and have a look on what apps are installed.

Get them evolved when somthing installing.

 I regularly reminds them that websites can redirect to other websites without them being aware and get them involved when installing patches,so that they know the importance of ensuing system up-to-date.   

A few simple steps can keep our data safe.

A few simple steps will help keep data secure. First, pick a file sharing service that lets you create “private” folders, so that only people with access credentials can see files. Second, get into the habit of deleting files once they’ve been shared, and if you’ve already shared files that are sensitive, delete those too.

Finally, if you come across files from friends that make you uncomfortable, or you’re sure aren’t meant for you, delete them and don’t forward them on to others.”

Learn about something yourself if you don’t know.

Take the time to learn about something yourself if you don’t know. Also when educating children it’s good to use material or images, like web comics to get the point across as that way they’re more likely to listen.Don’t hand over any internet connected device before you know yourself how it works. I have known other parents who weren’t aware that an iPod can connect to the internet, and gave it to their 10 year old son who then managed to share a video of their neighbour’s daughter in a bikini online. The neighbours were quite rightly upset!”

Enforcing boundaries and engaging in age-appropriate open discussions about your child’s online activities will encourage your young cyber minds to learn the benefits and realise the dangers of the internet. It is important to begin these conversations with your children from an early age, in order to protect them from risks that they may not yet understand and to prepare them to face and manage the threats.By talking openly with them it quickly becomes clear what behaviour is appropriate and what is not. It also gives them the opportunity to raise anything that they find troubling.”

Parents should know that staying safe on the internet now goes beyond the old computer security issues. Our recent studies show that parents now buy smartphones for their children when they are as young as 5 years old. The early use of both smartphones and tablets is boosting the risk of malware infections and SMS fraud, which make many victims among users who are still only learning to read.”
