As a caring parent, you’re likely aware that teenagers and preteens love to keep online journals or profile pages on social networking sites. Popular sites, such as Facebook, are favorites among this age group. However, these online platforms can often be accessed by almost anyone, which might put your child’s safety at risk.
On these websites, kids can create profiles to share videos, photos, and personal data like their address, phone number, birthday, and full name. These features enable them to connect with friends both near and far. Many sites include instant messaging, games, and other interaction tools.
Yet, the information shared can sometimes make kids vulnerable to online predators. Here are five essential tips to help your child enjoy social networking safely:
1. Use Nicknames: Encourage your child to use nicknames or just their first name on their profiles instead of their full name.
2. Monitor Their Profile: Make sure you have access to your child's public page. Regularly check for personal information like addresses or phone numbers that could compromise their safety.
3. Avoid Meeting Strangers: Instill a rule that your child should never meet anyone in person whom they've only interacted with online.
4. Set Privacy Controls: Utilize privacy settings on social networking sites to limit access to your child’s information, making their profile viewable only by approved contacts.
5. Consider Removing the Page: If your child doesn’t adhere to safety guidelines, consider contacting the website to have the page removed or using internet filtering tools to block site access.
By following these steps, you can help ensure your child's online experiences are both enjoyable and secure.
