It's great for Children to use computers for homework,
for gaining new skills. But keep that computer in
the living room and do not allow young Children to
keep that computer in their bedroom. The internet can
be a very dangerous place for Children. Studies show
that one in four Children have been approached by an
online predator and one in five Children have been sent
pornographic material. So what can parents do to prevent
them from happening? First, I always tell my
parents you wouldn't go drop your kid off in a
red light district and let them walk around and yet
so many parents are letting their Children use the internet
without any restrictions and the internet can be a very
dangerous place. Here are three things you can do
to help your Children. Number one, keep the
computer in a public place. It's great for Children
to use computers, for homework, for gaining new
skills. But keep that computer in the living room
and do not allow young Children to keep that computer
in their bedroom. Second, install filtering software that
will not allow your child to explore and view pornographic
material. And third talk to your kids, talk
to your kids about the dangers of the internet,
about the dangers of putting personal information, that way
they can really be private and you can really know
what they're up to.
