安全上网的四个步骤，你知道吗？ How to keep your children safe online

1.Keep your computer in a conspicuous area at your home or family space.

2.Never let your children have a laptop in their room.

3. Keep control of the network flow and consider to give non-internet enabled devices to younger children.

4. Have a conversation (not preaching) about how they are using the internet. For older children, discuss with them on the reasonable internet time.

5.Be firm when they break the rules you set and do not allow iPads or mobile phones to be kept in the bedroom overnight.

6.Speak to your child about what they access—surf the net with them.

7.Check the browser history on a regular basis.

1.Explain to your child about how to use the safety functions on social media.

2.Talk about online privacy—including the dangers of oversharing. It’s good to share sometimes, but children should be aware of the risks of oversharing and how that could affect their reputation now or in later life.

3.Not everyone online is who they say they are. It’s important that your child knows that there are a lot of fake users, online predators, and people looking to steal information. Your child should be vigilant against strangers seeking to meet or receive money.

1.Talk to your children about the realities of the internet and how they should react to inappropriate contents such as pornography, violence or unpleasant comments.

2.We need to let young people know that the virtual world is held to the same standards as the real world—this includes the following:

3.Common courtesy when interacting with others: We would never allow children to bully others at school, nor would we want our own children to be bullied. Parents should remind children that cyberbullying, including name calling, spreading rumors, threatening or undermining someone, is inappropriate and hurtful.

4.Giving out personal information: We would never walk up to a stranger at the mall and hand them our address and phone number. Similarly, we should not post these sorts of information.

5.Make sure that your child knows that if anything goes wrong they can always come to you.

6.Be part of your child’s online life - show an interest and involve the whole family.

7.Discuss with your child about what sites he/she likes and why.

1.Don’t use tablets or phones as a babysitter of your children. Sometimes we set the worst examples. We often use our phones as ways of answering emails or occupying ourselves during the commute, but we need to be careful that this example will not influence our children’s social outlook.

2.Make sure the family time is internet-free.

3.The Global Campus online is a platform where students can interact with their peers around the world in a safe learning environment monitored by Nord Anglia Education staff and teachers. Discover how your child can use it to support their learning in school.
