Parent Tips for Elementary School Kids
Keep online socializing to a minimum. Let your kids use sites like Webkinz or Club Penguin where chat is prescripted or pre-screened.
Explain the basics of correct cyber behavior. Tell your kids that things like lying, telling secrets, and being mean still hurt in cyberspace.
Tell your kids not to share passwords with their friends. A common form of cyberbullying is when kids log in to another child's email or social networking account and send fake messages or post embarrassing comments. Kids can protect themselves from this by learning early on that passwords are private and should only be shared with their parents.
