Page 8A - The Lee County Ledger, Thursday, August 2,2001 From Geek, page 4A While there is no need to scare the wits out of your child by preaching the lurid dangers that await in cyberspace, talking it over with them is important. En courage discussions between you and your child by learning about and discussing what they enjoy online. Informing your children about online safety is not as hard as some of those "other" discus sions either. Simply re-wording some of your best speeches about not talking to strangers, accept ing things from people they don't know and telling you when they feel scared can go a long way in cyberspace. Understand that technology is not foolproof. Make it your job to learn about parental control software, like browsers and fil ters, check out the control fea tures that your Internet Service Provider and Web Browser offer up. Know that these items can go a long way to help your kids avoid certain sites, certain words and certain people, but understand that these are gadgets and no sub stitute for responsible, loving, adult supervision. With all of today's challenges to bringing up kids safely these days, the Internet offers up no breaks. An important tip to re member is that the Internet is a new and largely unregulated spe cies. Learn to keep your kids safe online by staying aware and edu cated, and by coming up with some innovative family Internet policies of your own design, and share them with us here.
