Internet Safety Rules N’ Tools® Checklist

You watch any teen, tween, kid or even toddler using a smart phone or computer and you can instantaneously see their tech-savvy and ease navigating the Internet. As impressive as kids’ and teen’s Internet intuitivism and skills are, they often lack the wisdom and insight to know which websites and cyber habits are safe, ethical and appropriate for their developing minds and personhoods.

Even for tech-savvy parents, monitoring their children’s online behavior can be a daunting task. The ever-changing digital landscape makes it incredibly challenging for parents and educators to remain informed about the various dangers lurking online. Just as in the film TRUST, even very involved parents can be oblivious of the un-safe activities their children are engaging in on the Internet.

Enough Is Enough, our online safety partner whose goal is to educate, equip and empower parents and educators on online safety issues, has created the extremely useful Rules N’ Tools® Checklist as part of its multi-media Internet Safety 101 resource. The checklist covers the technical and non-technical safety basics, such as establishing an ongoing dialogue and setting age-appropriate filters, which can be implemented to safeguard children while they are online. You can download the Rules N’ Tools® Check List here.
