 What Children Should and Should Not Do Online

Before you even think about learning how to use the internet, you need know how to avoid potential dangers. They are as follows:

things to do:

Be sure to adhere to your parents' guidelines when it comes to how much time you may spend online, what you can use it for, which websites you can access, and any other restrictions they may have put in place.

Always remain in public, monitored, and child-friendly chat rooms when using instant messaging or entering.

If you experience any discomfort or problems while using the internet, please inform your parents right away.

In order to avoid detection in online forums and chat rooms, you should always adopt a pseudonym.

Stay away from sharing details about yourself online. Predators on the internet might use this information against you.

Look at some reputable websites.

Please exit the website immediately if you come across any content that is inappropriate for your age, including but not limited to graphic depictions of sexual content, violence, or nudity. It is imperative that you inform your parents without delay.

Just as you would while conversing over the phone, it is important to be courteous when chatting with friends online.

Be sure to get your parents' OK before making any internet purchases.

Mistakes to avoid:

Stay safe and don't let anyone harass you or put you in an awkward situation whether you're utilizing chat rooms or instant messaging.

Never engage in discussion with someone you have never met. Refrain from accepting any gifts they may offer.

You shouldn't reveal your true identity to strangers you meet on the internet. Your full name, mailing address, phone number, email, password, and financial details are all part of this.

Never give out your personal information on an insecure website's survey, membership, or application form.

Never remove your parents' antivirus, firewall, site filtering, or monitoring software settings.

Never respond to spam or open attachments from unknown senders. Some of them may be malicious software that could compromise your machine.

Be wary about downloading files sent to you by strangers you meet online. Unless specifically asked to do so, refrain from downloading files from your inbox.

Never utilize a downloadable, free, peer-to-peer file-sharing app (like Grokster or Kazaa). These are notorious for harboring spyware.

Above all else, be truthful and tell your parents the truth.
