Always sit with your kids at this age when they're online. |
 |
Create a personalized online environment for your kids by adding acceptable sites to your Favorites list. |
 |
Use kid-friendly search engines (such as MSN Kids Search) or search engines with parental controls. |
 |
Investigate Internet-filtering tools (such as MSN Premium's Parental Controls) as a complement—not a replacement—for parental supervision. |
 |
Help protect your children from offensive pop-up windows by using pop-up blocking software. There's a pop-up blocker built in to the most updated version of Windows XP and the MSN Toolbar. |
 |
Start teaching your children about privacy. If a site encourages kids to submit their names to personalize the Web content, help your kids create an online nickname that gives away no personal information. |
 |
All family members should act as role models for young children who are just starting to use the Internet. |
