Internet Safety

Have you ever found your child sitting in front of a new or blank screen on his computer? He may have been somewhere he shouldn’t have been on the Internet and hurriedly switched away from that screen or hit the reset button when he heard you coming. Parental involvement is critical to ensure your child’s adventure in cyberspace is safe, productive and fun.

There is no question, the internet makes lives more accessible and a lot more comfortable. It is at the core of the daily business, and it is a significant part of home life. This is especially true when it comes to children and the internet. They find it their biggest pastime, from playing games, watching movies and chatting with friends on social media.
