Children and the Internet ...

by JoleSulPrato

Having a child in elementary school in many cases also means assisting in its first landing in the vast world of the World Wide Web
If up until now its contact with the computer (at least in my case) limited to one or maximum two sites dedicated to children (and here I refer this beautiful educational site) without much curiosity about what lies beyond the time when the big door will open up in front of his eyes is approaching "dangerous".

So what to do?




First you need to indicate to the child that the Internet is a huge container where you can find all the good and the bad. As the one hand it can be educational the other has a number of threats to the rights and dignity of the child, in short, a place to move with great caution.

The second step is to install a good filter protection on your computer that is used by the child.
They contain a list (which can be updated) of potentially dangerous sites (violent or pornographic content). Even though, at least for the first time is difficult for a child can venture out alone or navigate through the maze of the Internet, the problem is that their sites are indicted by the banner to get to the baby!
Here then are some of the most popular protection filters to be installed directly on your computer:
Net Nanny, Sibersitter , Cyber \u200b\u200bPatrol.

A more important point is the location of the computer , which should never be inside the baby's room but in a central room of the house. Where the child can easily be supervised by a parent.

The time that the child spends in front of the computer should be fixed and completely respected (by us-taimer an alarm works great!)

And finally a review of website for kids:

wildwebwoods ,-as explained on the site, the game is designed to help you better understand the Internet provide the necessary knowledge and fun.
www.dienneti.it - a portal with a wide range of content suitable for children and teens
Trool - a portal or a better design of the Tuscan region that promotes the safe use of the internet.
aforementioned and up to ten - but perfectly understandable English.

These simple observations are addressed to parents with children, as already mentioned, the first approaches to the world of internet, the more we go forward and multiply the pitfalls and the presence of a parent as the guide becomes essential!
