As a parent in today's world it is vital to monitor what your kids do on the internet. Even though the internet can help your child with school work and things of that nature, it can also cause them harm if they stumble across adult sites and so on. Therefore, as a parent you don't have to restrict your child from using the internet, instead you must supervise them. As a parent you should try and become familiar with using the internet if you are not already.
One effective way to supervise your child's internet use is to spend time using the internet with them; this is the best insurance policy you can have for your child's safety. Also, know where to find and how to use the parental control tools, these tools do change and become more efficient so it's best to stay informed if you want to keep your child out of harms way while interacting on the internet. This is a fairly difficult task becaus eunlike tlevision and radio people can post whatever they want on the internet without having to worry about restrictions for children.
Some tips for parents to protect their children against online predators and explicit material are to share e-mail accounts, speak with your child about who they have met online, set ground rules and contact your service provider about any unwanted mail or other unwanted explicit material.
