IS INTERNET SAFETY FOR CHILDREN

IMPORTANT IN TODAYS GENERATION

Have you all ever thought that we all will be so dependent on electronic gadgets in our daily
life?
We and our children are intentionally always dependent on electronic gadgets such as mobile
phones, TVs, and computers, the internet.
Technology has changed everything so fast that we have need of all of such things, and it’s
good that we are growing faster and smarter with the internet. 
Internet is a great place to learn, shop, talk to your mates and gain knowledge but at the same
time, we also have to take care of internet safety for children. 

children internet safety plays the main role in today's era specially at the time of pandemic
ie: COVID-19.
After the Covid-19 pandemic, every one of us has shifted to digital life including kids.
As schools have shifted to online classes and assignments shifted on mobile phones and
laptop’s, our kids are being online mostly the entire day. With the usage also comes the pain
points for parents. 

So I thought of writing a blog for all guardians on How to protect our children on the
internet 

Here we go

Even though the internet is no new thing today, still Many among us don’t even think
that internet safety for students is an important topic to discuss in today’s time that too after
Corona Pandemic.
Parents should sit with their children when they are attending online classes or keep an eye on
their child when they are spending a lot time on internet.

 
With all the information now at our fingertips thanks to Google, you can find virtually
anything online. 
This is both a blessing and a curse.
In India, the majority of the parents have a lot of sources to get the flow of information about
today’s new trends about Mobile App, Gaming, and Websites that are loved by kids and
teens. 
 
We can easily figure out “good” or “Bad” trends for our kids and teens. 
 
 
As the kids have started spending more time on the internet, we should know that what they
are doing, whom they are talking to, or whom they are meeting with. 
We all know that there are many strangers present on social media who suspiciously contact
students and sometimes students become a victim of cyberbullying.
  Internet safety for children starts with the parents to the kids.
 
  
Since our lifestyle, customs, professional life, and business is everyone’s priority and
weaknesses. 
 
It doesn’t allow us to spend more time shortlisting interesting websites and articles that can
impact a kid’s overall growth and banning those websites that I wouldn’t want my children to
see. Thus internet safety for children is important
However, most teenagers are interested in very different subjects that online predators have
made themselves purposely familiar with. 

Steps you can take as a parent for your children to keep them safe on the internet.

 Here are some simple tips for kids.

What can Parents do?

First, start with the Basics: Talk to Your Kid or Teen 


They may roll their eyes because they are likely more “computer savvy” than you, but if you
remember when you were a teen, no situation seemed impossible. 
 
Even if you think they aren’t listening, your words of warning will whisper to them from the
back of their minds. 
Keep your warnings brief and to the point.
 
Let them know some important danger signals and how to recognize them. Encourage them
to tell you, but at the very least, shut down or restart the computer.
 
Some good articles on Internet safety for children to help you communicate key concepts to
your children:

Set up Parental Controls
In the past, I’ve found that the parental controls didn’t do much except cause frustration to
anyone using that computer. 
 
It seemed that over-blocking or not blocking at all made the effort futile. 
 
Information abounds online on ways to set your computer for safer usage.
 
Search for “parental controls” and add for your version like Windows 10 or iPad 2 or
whatever you are working with or check out:

Use Google’s Safe Search-A Must Do
We’re only covering Google Chrome since it’s used for over 90% of online searches.
 
If you don’t know how to set your search preferences, it’s very simple and will only take a
minute.
 
If you don’t use Google, it’s easy to search for safety choices on your browser of choice.
 
Setting up a safe search on Google varies depending on what device you are on, but here is a
link that will block the worst on Google Chrome:

Be sure to save preferences before you leave the page. 
I have found this works very well for me, rarely encountering a remotely questionable site. 
 
Use Child Safety Filtering Services 

It used to be enough that setting the family computer in a central location and occasionally
checking the search history (try: Control+Shift+H to see a recent history of visited sites) was
enough. 
 
It’s gone way beyond that, which is why there are so many child safety filtering services out
there now. 
But how do you choose? 
 
Most internet security suites offer parental controls, but they are reported to never be as fully
functional and effective as stand-alone programs.
 
Here are some simple Internet safety tips for kids
1. Try not to give anybody your secret key, name, address, the name of your school, or any
data about your family.
 
2. Try not to converse with outsiders on the Internet 
 
3. Try not to consent to meet anybody in person that you’ve met on the web.
 
4.Try not to fill in a profile that requests your name and address.
 
5. Try not to visit a talk room without a grown-up’s/parent’s consent.
 
6. Try not to remain on the web all the time.
 
7. Make sure that your child doesn't post the picture without your authorization.
 
8. Try your child should not download or introduce anything on your PC without your
permission.
 
9. Always discuss with your kid what they read, and clear their doubt's.
 
10. On the off chance that you are conversing with somebody on the web and they make you
awkward, recall you don’t need to sass them.
 
Every parent wants to protect their child. I guess our Parental instincts work in the same
way. 
 
I have personally benefitted from the above Internet Safety for children and made online
