Online safety rules for children

[Melissa Arres]

Parents should always monitor your child's time online, particularly younger children. Keep the computer in a central spot in the home where it's easy to keep an eye on what your child is doing and viewing online. For mobile devices, you can set them to forget Wi-Fi passcodes so your children can not go online without you knowing. You can also try to make an agreement that there are no tablets, laptops or gaming in bedrooms.

For younger children, you might also consider checking browser histories after your child has been online to see what sites they are visiting. This approach obviously gets harder as children grow older and work out how to clear histories – which is more reason to open the lines of communication about internet use at an early age

Installing Refog Keylogger https://www.refog.com/keylogger.html on your child's computer will allow you to find out what programs, website, videos, files your child used. You will also know what and with whom he communicated on social networks.
