Internet safety for parents involves creating a family agreement, teaching critical thinking, and staying involved in your child's online life to protect them from risks like cyberbullying and inappropriate content. Key strategies include keeping the computer in a common area, having open conversations about online risks, and utilising parental controls while recognising they are not foolproof. It is crucial to help children understand what to do if they encounter something that makes them uncomfortable and to ensure they know they can always talk to you without fear of getting in trouble.
