Successful Usage Guidelines

Listed below are just a few of the steps you can take to ensure your families safety and well-being.

  • For Parental Experience, you need to get involved, you can’t tell them the crazy stories our parents told us about walking to school both ways, uphill, in the snow… You need to be involved in area of their lives, especially their online presence. You need to know their passwords, monitor their post and who their friends are. When your child starts spouting some non-sense about no privacy, think what privacy they have on the web with the information, pictures and videos for the entire world to see. There is not privacy anymore, but you can protect them from making a mistake that will live with them for the rest of their lives.
  • The predators answer is much like the previous one. More importantly, you need to remind and make your children know they can speak with you about anything. Build their self-confidence and self-worth so strong that they will not fall prey to online predators, bullying or negative peer pressure.
  • For private information, first keep your social sites private, do not upload pictures and video especially if you do not want someone to see it. We need to remind our children, especially our teenagers that once you push send, there is no getting it back. Do not tell anyone when you are doing things or where you are at, it just opens you up to predators that are looking to take advantage of people that are naïve or clueless to the dangers.
  • This monitoring of data and keeping your information private will keep you from unknowingly open yourself to scrutiny by future employers, college admissions and law enforcement. You also need to check out your friends, just because you were good friends in high school does not mean you know them now or their history and if there is information you really need to know.
