SafetyNet Step 4:
Keep the computer out in the open
You can strengthen your safety net simply by locating the
computer in a common room, such as the family room, instead of a bedroom. The primary
advantage of doing this is that you will not have to constantly disturb your
childrens privacy by entering their bedrooms to see what they are viewing. Many
parents have peaked into their child's room in the middle of the night to discover their
children surfing the night away. Perhaps the child is addicted to the net, or worse,
looking for objectionable material. A common-room computer makes such clandestine use less
likely in an easy, friendly way. |
