Child safety - Part II


Now, let’s discuss a recent issue related to child’s safety – Internet safety. Generally, we do value very much our safety nowadays, given the Internet and its extraordinary power of exhibiting many personal data about each of us, including our children. Let’s face it, they are fascinated by this virtual environment. Interdiction is not a solution here. Interdiction will negatively counteract with child’s strong curiosity about the Internet.


Every child is genuinely curious, and it is not OK to keep him away from your big and fascinating PC. Browsing your computer, your child will learn to handle it, which will prove helpful later on in his life. But he will also learn to use Yahoo Messenger, to create an account on many websites containing games or other issues for children.


To protect your child from Internet danger, tell him very clear that he is not allowed to share private information on the Internet, especially if it happens to be contacted by a stranger. And don’t forget to check his e-mail or the list of websites that he visited.


Child’s safety is a must for every parent. Although life seems to be mostly hazardous, there are some aspects that one can predict. This is true for your child’s security too. It’s your responsibility, as a parent, to take every possible measure in order to make sure that your child lives in a safe environment and that he is surrounded by good people.
