Make Internet filtering part of an overall strategy which includes these rules:
1. No one should stay up on the Internet while everyone else has gone to bed. 2. Put the computer in a central location in your home which gets lots of traffic. NEVER let your children have a computer connected to the Internet in their room behind closed doors. 3. Have a regular routine of checking the history files on your computer to see where everyone has been surfing. And make sure your family knows you're checking. 4. No chat rooms, unless it is controlled chat where the only folks allowed in are there by permission. 5. Men need to be in an accountability group where their buddies are asking them about their Internet habits. 6. Do not leave your children, no matter what age, on the computer as a baby sitter when you need to be away. 7. Password-protect your Internet access, and do not let your children have access without your permission. 8. Talk openly with your family members about the dangers and keep each other accountable. |
