INTERNET SAFETY TIPS FOR CHILDREN AT HOME AND SCHOOL
Monday, Jun 07, 2021 ยท 2 minutes
Statistics from NetSmartz (a website run by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) show that children are spending more time online than ever before. 93 percent of children aged 12 to 17 have access to the internet, and 75% of the same age group owns a mobile phone. Seventy-three percent of teenagers have accounts on social networking sites like Facebook, with about half of them sharing photos of themselves.
"How do I provide Internet protection for kids?" is the main issue. Since many parents believe parental controls necessitate detailed technological expertise, it can be a daunting prospect.
However, practically any parent can shield their children from inappropriate content or prevent them from downloading harmful malware using simple Internet protection software.
Configure child-safe internet filtering on your router or through your internet service provider's protection app. This functions in the same way as library and public school computers' filtering systems do, allowing you to monitor which websites your child can access.##BlogVASBanner##
The simplest way to ensure your child only has access to reputable internet content is to block websites and keywords. You can use your router or your internet service provider's protection app to block websites and keywords.Another way to set up internet filtering is to restrict your child's access to certain websites and keywords. You give access to licenced website URLs and keywords rather than blocking unique content. All other content will be blocked as a result.
Another great choice for keeping your child secure online is to create an internet schedule, or a window of time when he or she has internet access. You can set up access times through your router or internet service provider's protection app, much as you can block websites and keywords. Your child would only be able to use the internet at set times if you use an internet plan. Limiting your child's time in front of the screen can also be beneficial to his or her growth. Make sure your child has ample time for homework and social events while making an internet schedule for them.
