Family Contract for Online Safety
Parents' Pledge
- I will get to know the services and websites my child uses. If I
don't know how to use them, I'll get my child to show me how.
- I will set reasonable rules and guidelines for computer use by my
children and will discuss these rules and post them near the computer as a reminder. I'll
remember to monitor their compliance with these rules, especially when it comes to the
amount of time they spend on the computer.
- I will not overreact if my child tells me about a problem he or
she is having on the Internet. Instead, we'll work together to try to solve the problem
and prevent it from happening again.
- I promise not to use a PC or the Internet as an electronic
babysitter.
- I will help make the Internet a family activity and ask my child
to help plan family events using the Internet.
- I will try to get to know my child's "online friends"
just as I try to get to know his or her other friends.
I agree to the above.
