7. You can monitor and supervise your child’s use of the internet in several ways:
Talk with all family members about internet access. Monitoring works best if you can have calm and frank
discussions with your child about his internet activities.
Keep your desktop computer in a family area, or make sure your child uses tablets, phones and hand-held
devices where you can see her. If possible, avoid online activity in a study or bedroom. This helps you keep an
eye on how long your child is online as well as what websites she’s visiting.
Turn off all internet-accessing devices at night, including mobile phones, and keep portable devices in a
common family space.
Together with your child, set up some simple and fair rules about internet use. For example, set a reasonable
limit on your child’s screen time. Discuss how these rules apply outside your home – for example, at the local
library. When your child follows the rules, give him lots of positive feedback.
Let your child know that social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram don’t
allow children aged under 13 years to set up accounts. You can direct your child to more age-appropriate sites
such as Moshi Monsters or Club Penguin instead.
Check the websites your child has been visiting by using the History tab in your browser.
Reflect on the points above, and reflect on your own childhood. Critically analyse the methods your parents/carers
may (did) have used for you when you were a young child. Were they different to the above? Explain. Do you think
parents today with young children would have a greater challenge in filtering internet content? Justify your
response.
