The sweetest kids can be amazingly crafty. Even if you think your children understand the dangers and follow your guidelines that does not make them exempt from peer pressure and other influences. I know you are the type of parent that tries to stay on top of things concerning your kids by the very fact that you are reading this right now.
However, there is so much change happening in the world of technology and kids are also changing with every week that passes. Be aware of warning signs, such as a child who quickly closes browser windows when you come around. Other signs to watch out for might include a child whose behavior has recently changed. Maybe they are becoming more isolative, spending lots of time online, or even showing signs of depression or anxiety.
Check up on your kid’s online activities regularly. Keep the conversation going, both about the dangers of the Internet and the fun and exciting things they may be discovering. Your kids may resent you or call you nosy and controlling, but you are simply watching out for them.
