How to keep your kids safe online.

We at Billy Bounce believe that the Internet is all about the experience of learning through exploration and discovery. But while there are a myriad of learning opportunities on the web, we also know that parents are justifiably concerned about safety as their children surf, learn, and play in this new medium. So how can we protect our kids online?

Review sites before kids use them.

Television programs are hard to preview, but the Internet allows us to look at sites long before our kids see them. Before your child checks out a website, you can review it to ensure that the material is appropriate for your child.

Read privacy policies on websites.

It is important that parents read the privacy policies of the sites their children are visiting. This area should outline what happens when a child enters a competition, or when a child answers a survey or poll etc. We recommend you visit the complete privacy policy within our site.

Tips for keeping your kids safe online

• Close supervision is strongly recommended; make the Internet a family activity.
• Encourage children to set up favorites and bookmarks of suitable sites, and keep an eye on the sites children are book marking.
• Help children understand the need for caution with online strangers and consider having children use an online nickname rather than their real name.
• Investigate any chat rooms or online clubs children may want toexplore and use the telephone or other means to check they are legitimate.
• If children want to set up an online relationship with another child, consider contacting the other child's parents to confirm they are who they say they are.
• Help children understand the nature of commercial information and how to think about it.
• Consider installing filters & labels blocking access to unsuitable web sites and unmonitored chat rooms.
• Set time limits and check your credit card and telephone bills, (especially if your Internet access is charged at an hourly rate).
