PARENTS > INTERNET SAFETY

Helping children and young people stay safe on-line is vital. It is also a constant challenge to keep up with changing technology.
This is the focus of the latest leaflet to come from the charity Family Action.

The series of leaflets ‘Ready to Learn Every Day’ offers simple suggestions for parents to tackle issues from preparing for school and wellbeing to, in the latest publication, tackling internet safety.
While increased access to the internet gives many families huge benefits there is also a real danger of children accessing harmful material. The leaflet advises parents to install parental control on PCs, to talk to children about cyber bullying and to discuss the difference between an online contact and a real friend.

Parental online safety advice - Protect their curiosity!
If your child finds something disturbing, what would you do?  Telling off is not the answer of course!  Filters and blocks are useful but might not always work.  Children have natural curiosity and so it is very likely that at some point they will find things which are not age or stage appropriate, that they do not understand and upsets or frightens them … and you wouldn’t want them to see. So, the key thing is you want them to feel confident enough to tell you.  Then - how do you allay their fears and talk to them about the issues they have stumbled upon?

·         Let your child know they’re safe.
·         Let them know they can always safely discuss their feelings with you.
·         Listen and allow your child to ask questions.
·         Give explanations with compassion and ease.
·         Explain that violence is never a solution.
·         Tell your child ways they can keep themselves safe.
