Keep an eye on your contacts
If a stranger requests you as a contact, your best option is to ignore them. Likewise, if someone you know is bothering you, remember that you can just choose to block them.
Keep your personal details personal
Remember to never give out your name, address or other personal information if you're not sure about who you're talking to.
Tell someone about it!
If you're getting cyberbullied, make sure to tell someone that you can trust. It could be your parents, but it doesn't have to be.
Think before you post
You never know what could come back at you, or what someone might use for the wrong reasons.
Stop! Step away from the computer
Too much gaming, chat or social networking can affect your real life. Don't let the fun you have on the internet come at the expense of that.
Keep the computer in sight
If your home computer is in a spot where you can see it, you've already increased the chances of effectively protecting your children online.
Learn about the technology
We're not saying that you should set up a Facebook profile yourself, but it pays to know how social networks and other online communications work.
What goes up now can stay there for a while
What your child posts online can stay up there for quite some time. Encourage them to think about what kind of information the share about themselves.
Remind your kids not to have contact with strangers
Don't allow your kids to share any personal information online with people they don't know in real life.
Look out for signs of unwelcome contact or cyberbullying
Has your child suddenly lost interest in the computer? Have they become anti-social or isolated? While it could be a problem in the playground, it's worth considering that it may be happening at home, on the computer.
