14. Tools to protect your children – Parental Control
Every parental control package is different, but most provide services such as:
Filtering – content to restrict access to particular sites
Time limits – restrict the amount of time your child can be online, or set periods of time where your child can access certain sites
Monitoring – where you are informed of certain sites that your child is attempting to gain access to.

15. Reporting – where you are provided with information about what sites your child has used.

16. Let them teach you
The people who know best about what your children are up to online, are your children! Get them to tell you about the sites they’re using. Ask them questions such as:
◦Why do they like the site?
◦What can they do on it?
◦What’s so fun about it?
◦Who uses it at school?
◦Who you can talk to?
◦Who are their friends on it?
This is a good way to develop a trusting relationship with your child about what they are up to online.
