The best way to use the Net is to have some family rules to protect your privacy and well-being. Here are some very good ones.
Spend Time Online Together
Explore cyberspace with a parent or parents, a teacher, a librarian or another trusted adult. Together you can identify some Web sites that interest you.
Ask your parents to mark these Web sites as your personal favorites so you sign on to them easily when you're online.
Decide on Family Rules
for Online Behavior
A CyberSavvy Family Pledge will help you create a set of rules for your family to follow online. The rules you follow may be different than those for your younger or older brothers or sisters. A timely idea: The more you and your parents use the Internet, the more comfortable you will be setting rules. Make a schedule for reviewing, and perhaps updating, your CyberSavvy Family Pledge.
