In the digital age of the 21st century, children need to be aware of how to handle  themselves safely online. Just as a parent instructs a child to refrain from giving personal information to strangers on the street, so should be the rule for Internet use. Children should know to ask permission before signing up for anything that asks for address, email, phone number or private financial information. Parents should monitor their kids' social media and make rules about who they can and cannot connect with online. Educate your kids that chat rooms and instant messaging can hide a predator's true intentions and identity, so they should never agree to meet anyone they don't know personally in the real world. If anyone asks for personal information, log off immediately and tell a parent. Many parents also have rules or Internet filters which limit site access to family-friendly, parent-approved sites.
