• Ask them to teach you to use any applications
• Keep the computer in a family room - this means you can keep more control of what they do (i.e. Webcams)
• Learn how to check web history and engage with technology
Our Advice to you• Help your children to understand that they should never give out personal
details to online friends - personal information includes:– their messenger id– email address– mobile number and any pictures of themselves,
• If your child receives spam / junk email & texts, remind them never to
believe them, reply to them or use them. • Help them to understand the risks of what could happen if they send a
picture of themselves to a boyfriend
