Kids - Good Citizens

Here are some additional things you can do to keep our kids safe as they explore the internet.

• Protect your children from cyberbullying by limiting where and what they can post about themselves and family.  Teach them how to respond if they witness or are a victim to cyberbullying.
• Keep the compute in a common area, not in individual bedrooms, where you can watch and monitor use.  This isn't about trust; it is about protection and open communication.
• Be aware of all the ways kids connect to the internet.  Phones, tablets, gaming systems, and even TVs have become connected;  teach your kids how to use each of these devices safely.
• Set up a separate account on your computer for your children to use that does not have administrator control if possible.  This will prevent software programs, including malicious software/malware, from being downloaded without the administrator password.  Do not share this password with your kids.
