The Internet could be a fantastic resource for children. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other children, and play interactive games. Children who are old enough to punch in some letters on the keyboard can literally access the world.
That access can also pose dangers. For instance, an 8-year-old may do an internet search for "Lego set." But with just one left out keystroke, the word "Legs" is entered alternatively, and the kid perhaps is directed to a heap of sites with a focus on legs — many of which could contain pornographic material.
That's how come it is important to be well aware of what your children see and hear on the World Wide Web, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online.
Just like any safety issue, it is prudent to talk with your children about your worries, make the best of resources to protect them, and keep a close eye on their activities.
