Keep your children safe on the home computer
We all trust our children to do the sensible thing; we talk to them and warn of the dangers of the net…..about chat rooms, predators, bad sites, bullying, violent games but you can never tell when an innocent can stumble across something inappropriate or be approached by seemingly nice friend on a social networking site?
How ever much you kid your self, you know deep down that you don’t really know the half of what your children are doing on the home computer
Richard Gerver, Head Teacher, Government Educational Adviser & best selling author of ‘Creating Tomorrow’s Schools Today’
As parents we can’t have eyes in the back of our heads or be present at every moment that the home computer is switched because the realities of life don’t work like that.
Being fair but firm
Any form of self censorship smacks of heavy handed parenthood but as responsible adults we have to be alert to the dangers as well as the fascination that the open access worldwide web offers every computer user irrespective of age. The Learning Bubble offers a flexible approach to computer control that allows to different levels of access and restrictions dependent upon the child – the parent makes the choices for each child that suits them best.
