• These values promote productive, respectful and responsible behavior.
• Communicating face to face is not that different from online communication.
Rules For Rules For CommunicatingCommunicating
• Send a clear message• Be polite• Avoid negativity • Demonstrate listening • Don’t interrupt• Stay calm • Avoid sarcasm• Express your feelings as well as
your opinions
What Can Parents Do?
• Understand that socializing online and offline are not mutually exclusive
• Even the most tech-savvy children can use some reminders about their online behavior:
• What is done online can have real-world consequences
• Posted information or pictures cannot be withdrawn
• Remind children to trust their gut if they’re suspicious about anything – and to tell you about it.
• Remind children to keep personal information private.
What Can Parents Do?
• Start earlyo As soon as children use a computer or
phone themselves, it’s time to talk with them about safety.
• Create an honest, open environment o Be supportive and positive. Listening and
taking their feelings into account helps keep conversation afloat. You may not have all the answers, and being honest about that can go a long way. Listen to what children have to say, and be supportive.
• Initiate conversationso Use everyday opportunities to talk to your
children about being online.
What Can Parents Do?
• Monitor what your children are doing online
• Ask them questions about their online activities
• Communicate your values – and how they apply online o Be upfront about your values and how
they apply in an online context. Communicating your values clearly can help your children make smarter and more thoughtful decisions when they face tricky situations.
• Be patiento Most children need small bits of
information repeated – and often – for it to really sink in. Keep talking; chances are it’ll pay off.

Mobile and Smartphone Safety

• More and more children go online from their phones
• Think about privacy and safety o Photo- and video-sharing on the go
• Filters on home computers don’t apply on phones
• PC Magazine - Parental Control Apps for Smartphones
Mobile andSmartphone Safety
• The phone itself, as well as the mobile carrier, should give you some options about privacy settings and child safety controls. o Ask your carrier what tools are available
on your plan and your phone, and find out what they cost. (There may be extra charges for these features.)
• Do you know about social mapping? o It’s GPS technology that’s in many cell
phones now, and children can use it to pinpoint where their friends are – or be pinpointed by their friends.
• You might want to check: some carriers have GPS services that let parents map their kid’s location.
Mobile and Smartphone Safety
• Most mobile phones allow photo- and video-sharing, which can be fun and creative – but can also cause issues about personal privacy and reputation.
• Encourage children to think about their privacy – and that of others – before posting a picture or video.
• Smart phones let children check and update their social networking pages on the go. Any filters you’ve set up on the home computer don’t apply on the phone.
