25. 1. Make sure your child does not spend all of his/her time on the computer. People,
not computers, should be their best friends and companions.
2. Keep the computer in an area where it can be monitored, like the family room,
kitchen or living room, not in your child’s bedroom.
3. Learn enough about computers so you can enjoy them together with your kids.
4. Teach them never to meet an online friend offline unless you are with them.
5. Watch your children when they’re online and see where they go.
6. Make sure that your children feel comfortable coming to you with questions and
don’t over react if things go wrong.
7. Keep kids out of chatrooms unless they are monitored.
8. Encourage discussions between you and your child about what they enjoy online.

26. 9. Teach them what information they can share with others online and what
they can’t (like telephone numbers, address, their full name and school)
10. Get to know their “online friends” just as you get to know all of their other
friends.
11. Warn them that people may not be what they seem to be and that people
they chat with are not their friends, they are just people they chat with.
12. Discuss these rules, get your children to agree to adhere to them, and
post them near the computer as a reminder.

27. Four steps you can start taking now to make ID security a priority — and a practice:
 1. Change weak passwords. Do not use your birth date or part of your address or phone number. Strongest
passwords combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.
 2. Make sure your home Wi-Fi network is password-protected. Be careful how you use your devices at public hot
spots. Most aren't secure — which means any information you send is only protected if you're on an encrypted
website. To be sure a website is encrypted, look for "https" in the address before you log in or send any personal info.
 3. Don't click on links in unsolicited emails. Don't give out information over the phone or online unless you've
verified the source.
 4. Keep your eye on debit and credit cards when paying for purchases. If anything seems out of the ordinary, be
cautious using your card.
