Content risks are materials (texts, pictures, audio, video files, links to third-party resources) containing violence, aggression, erotica and pornography, obscene language, information inciting racial hatred, propaganda of anorexia and bulimia, suicide, gambling, drugs etc.

How to help your child avoid encountering inappropriate content:

• Teach your child to consult with adults and immediately report the appearance of unwanted information of this kind;
• Explain to your children that not everything they read or see on the Internet is true. Train them to ask about things they are unsure about;
• Try to ask your child about what he sees on the Internet. Often, after opening one site, a child will want to get acquainted with other similar resources;
• Enable parental control and safe search programs to help protect your child from inappropriate content;
• Constantly explain to your child safety rules on the Internet;

However, remember that you cannot always be with your children and supervise them all the time. Trusting relationships with children, open and friendly dialogue can often be much more constructive than constantly monitoring visited sites and blocking all kinds of content.

• Use special security settings (parental control tools, safe search settings, etc.).
• Develop “family rules” for using the Internet. By focusing on them, the child will know what to do when faced with negative content.
• Be aware of what your child is doing online. Talk to your child more often about what he is doing online.

How to teach your child to be careful when meeting new people on the Internet

Communication on the Internet may entail communication risks, such as illegal contacts (for example, grooming), cyberstalking, cyberbullying, etc.

Even if most users of chat systems (web chat or IRC) have good intentions, there may be malicious people among them. In some cases, they want to trick children into giving up personal information, such as home address, phone number, passwords to personal Internet pages, etc. In other cases, they may turn out to be criminals looking for a victim. Experts use the special term “grooming,” which means establishing friendly relations with a child for the purpose of engaging in sexual contact. Acquaintance most often occurs in a chat, on a forum or on a social network on behalf of a child’s peer. By communicating in person (“privately”), the attacker gains trust in the child, tries to find out personal information and arrange a meeting.

Grooming warning:

• Be aware of who your child is in contact with online, try to regularly check your children's contact list to make sure they personally know everyone they communicate with;
• Explain to your child that you cannot disclose personal information on the Internet (phone number, home address, school name/number, etc.), or send your photos to online acquaintances;
• If a child is interested in contacts with people much older than him, an explanatory conversation should be held;
• Don't let your child meet online friends without your permission or without an adult present. If a child wishes to meet a new Internet friend, you should insist on accompanying the child to this meeting;
• Be interested in where your child goes and with whom.

Explain to your child the basic rules of online behavior:

• You cannot share personal information with virtual acquaintances, and you should meet them in real life only under the supervision of your parents.
• If online communication becomes negative, such communication should be interrupted and not resumed.

How to Avoid Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying – harassment by messages containing insults, aggression, intimidation; hooliganism; social boycotting using various Internet services.

Cyberbullying Prevention:

• Explain to children that when communicating on the Internet, they should be friendly with other users, and in no case write rude words - reading rude words is just as unpleasant as hearing them;
• Teach your children how to respond appropriately to hurtful words or actions of other users. You should not communicate with the aggressor, much less try to respond in kind. It may be worth leaving this resource altogether and deleting your personal information from there if you cannot solve the problem peacefully;
• If a child has become a victim of bullying, help him find a way out of the situation - almost all forums and sites have the opportunity to block the offender, write a complaint to the moderator or site administration, or demand that the page be deleted;
• Explain to children that the Internet should not be used for hooliganism, spreading gossip or threats;
• Try to monitor what your child is doing on the Internet, and also monitor his mood after using the Internet.

How to protect yourself from cyberbullying:

• Don't provoke. Communication on the Internet should be ethical and civil. If someone begins to insult a child on the Internet, it is necessary to recommend leaving such a resource and looking for a more convenient platform.
• If someone sends threats and insults to a child via email or other e-channels, it is best to change electronic contacts (get a new email, Skype, ICQ, new mobile phone number).
• If someone has posted a scene of cyber-humiliation of a child on the Internet, it is necessary to report this to the administration of the resource. You can also contact the hotline. Even with the most trusting relationships in the family, parents sometimes cannot notice in time the danger threatening the child and, even more so, do not always know how to prevent it.

Here's what parents should pay attention to in order to notice in time that their child has become a victim of cyberbullying:

• Restless behavior. Even the most reserved student will worry about what is happening and will definitely give himself away with his behavior. Depression and reluctance to go to school are the most obvious signs that a child is being bullied.
• Dislike of the Internet. If a child loved spending time on the Internet and suddenly stopped doing so, you should find out the reason. In very rare cases, children actually get tired of spending time on the Internet. However, in most cases, a sudden reluctance to use the Internet is associated with problems in the virtual world.
• Nervousness when receiving new messages. A child’s negative reaction to the sound of an email should alert the parent. If your child regularly receives upsetting messages, talk to him and discuss the content of the messages.
• How to teach your child to be careful on the Internet and not become a victim of Internet scammers

Cyber ​​fraud is one of the types of cyber crime, the purpose of which is to cause material or other damage by stealing the user’s personal information (bank account numbers, passport details, codes, passwords, etc.)

Cyber ​​Fraud Prevention:

• Inform your child about the most common methods of fraud and teach him to consult with adults before using certain services on the Internet;
• Install an antivirus or, for example, a personal firewall on your computers. These applications monitor traffic and can be used to perform a variety of actions on infected systems, the most common of which is the theft of sensitive data;
• Before you make a purchase in an online store, make sure it is reliable and, if your child is already making online purchases on his own, explain to him simple safety rules:
• Read customer reviews
• Check the details and name of the legal entity - the store owner
• Find out how long the store has been in business. You can view it in a search engine or by domain registration date (WhoIs service)
• Ask if the store issues a cash receipt
• Compare prices in different online stores.
• Call the store's help desk
• Pay attention to the rules of the online store
• Find out exactly how much you'll have to pay
• Explain to your child not to send too much information about themselves when making online purchases: account details, passwords, home addresses and phone numbers. Remember that the site administrator or moderator will never require your full account information, passwords and PIN codes. If someone asks for such information, be careful - most likely they are scammers.

How to recognize internet and gaming addiction Today in Russia, the problems of so-called “Internet addiction” (synonyms: Internet addiction, virtual addiction) and addiction to computer games (“gaming”) are becoming increasingly relevant. Psychotherapists were the first to encounter them, as well as companies that use the Internet in their activities and suffer losses if employees develop a pathological attraction to being online.

How to identify signs of Internet addiction in a child:

• Assess how much time your child spends on the Internet, whether he neglects his household duties, homework, sleep, proper nutrition, and walks because of working on the computer.
• Talk to your child about what they do online. Social networks create the illusion of full employment - the more a child communicates, the more friends he has, the more information he needs to cover - answer all messages, follow all events, show himself. Find out whether your child's interest is supported by real hobbies, or whether he is simply trying not to miss anything and following updates for the sake of the process. Try to find out how important online communication is for your child and whether it replaces real communication with friends.
• Observe your child's mood changes and behavior after leaving the Internet. The manifestation of such mental symptoms as depression, irritability, anxiety, and reluctance to communicate is possible. Physical symptoms include headaches, back pain, sleep disorders, decreased physical activity, loss of appetite, and others.

If you discover possible symptoms of Internet addiction in your child, you must adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

• Try to establish contact with the child. Find out what interests him, what worries him, and so on.
• Do not prohibit your child from using the Internet, but try to establish rules for use (the amount of time the child can spend online, a ban on the Internet before doing homework, etc.). To do this, you can use special parental control programs that limit time on the Internet.
• Limiting Internet access to your computer or a computer in the family room will make it easier to monitor your child's online activities. Keep track of what sites your child visits.
• Ask your child to keep a detailed record of how they spend their time online for a week. This will help you clearly see and understand the problem, as well as get rid of some obsessive actions, for example, mindlessly updating the page in anticipation of new messages.
• Invite your child to do something together, try to get him interested in something. Try to bring cyber activities into real life. For example, for many computer games, there are similar board games that can be played with the whole family or with friends, while communicating with each other live. It is important that the child has hobbies that are not related to the Internet, to which he can devote his free time.
• Children with Internet addiction subjectively feel the impossibility of living without the Internet. Try to tactfully talk about this with your child. If necessary, discuss with him the situation when, for some reason, he was forced to do without the Internet. It is important that the child understands that nothing will happen if he drops out of the life of the online community for a while.
• In case of serious problems, seek professional help.

How to teach your child not to download malware onto a computer

Malicious programs (viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, bots, etc.) can harm your computer and the data stored on it. They can also reduce the speed of data exchange and even use your computer to spread a virus or send spam on your behalf from an email address or a social network profile.

Preventing encounters with malware:

• Install special email filters and anti-virus systems on all home computers to prevent software infections and data loss. Such applications monitor traffic and can prevent both direct attacks by malicious actors and attacks using malicious applications.
• Use only licensed programs and data obtained from reliable sources. Most often, pirated copies of programs, especially games, are infected with viruses.
• Explain to your child how important it is to use only trusted information resources and not download unlicensed content.
• Try to thoroughly scan your home computers periodically.
• Back up important data.
• Try to change passwords periodically (for example, for email) and do not use passwords that are too simple.

What to do if your child does encounter any risks

• Establish positive emotional contact with the child, encourage him to talk about what happened. Talk about your concerns about what is happening to him. The child must trust you and know that you want to understand the situation and help him, and not punish him;
• Try to listen carefully to the story of what happened, understand how serious it was and how seriously it could affect the child;
• If a child is upset by something he saw (for example, someone hacked his profile on a social network) or finds himself in an unpleasant situation (he spent your or his money as a result of Internet fraud, etc.) - try to calm him down and sort out the situation together with him. : what led to this result, what wrong actions the child himself committed, and where you did not tell him about the rules of safety on the Internet;
• If the situation is related to online violence against a child, then it is necessary to find out information about the aggressor, find out the history of the relationship between the child and the aggressor, find out whether there is an agreement to meet in real life; find out whether such meetings took place and what the aggressor knows about the child (real name, surname, address, phone number, school number, etc.), strictly insist on avoiding meetings with strangers, especially without witnesses, check all new contacts of the child recently;
• Collect the most complete information about the incident, both from the child’s words and using technical means: go to the pages of the site where your child was, look at the list of his friends, read the messages. If necessary, copy and save this information - it may be useful to you in the future (for example, to contact law enforcement agencies);
• If you are not sure about the seriousness of what happened to your child, or the child is not frank enough with you or is not ready to make contact at all, or you do not know what to do in a given situation, contact a specialist (helpline, hotline, etc.) , where you will be given recommendations on where and in what form to contact if intervention from other services and organizations is required (Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Emergency Situations, Sisters and others)

Helpline “Children Online”

If you need specialist advice on safe use of the Internet or if your child has already encountered risks on the Internet, contact the “Children Online” helpline by phone: 8 800 25 000 15 (calls within Russia are free). On the helpline, professional psychological and informational support is provided by psychologists from the Faculty of Psychology of Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Internet Development Foundation.

The relationship between parents and offspring has changed due to the advent of the Internet, as technology widens the generation gap. Children spend hours on the Internet every day. The safety of children on the Internet depends on the microclimate in the family. Therefore, it is important to take an active part in the fight against illegal content, including those that are contrary to the legislation of the Russian Federation.

In Russia, the distribution of pornography, extremism, propaganda of drugs, suicide, as well as information about minor children who have already suffered from illegal actions is prohibited.

The listed points are defined by Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 139 “On the protection of children from information harmful to health and development.” If you encounter illegal information, you can send a complaint to the Roskomnadzor department, after which action will be taken.

In this way, you will protect both your and other children from “black” content on the Internet.

1. According to research from the Internet Development Foundation, young people are more than 2 times more likely to access the World Wide Web than the adult generation.

2. Children master new Internet technologies much faster and confidently use information resources.

3. Due to being extremely busy or having limited knowledge of digital technologies, parents do not explain to their children about Internet safety rules.

4. In turn, children want to be independent and want to solve problems via the Internet, without turning to their parents for advice. But in reality, they need both support and help.

5. Children rarely share with adults because they are afraid of punishment or simply want to be independent.

6. Some children think that parents and adults are not able to help solve any problem.

In such situations, you should take the first step and talk to them about the peculiarities of the Internet and discuss the safety of children on the Internet

Children on the Internet: General risks

When buying goods or using services, you can encounter deception in the form of low-quality goods, counterfeits, or even lose money.

If the network is used incorrectly, technical damage to the PC may occur:

System failure;

Windows errors;

Virus infection.

As a result, system parameters are usually affected, and confidential information and personal data may be stolen.

Children on the Internet: main problems

Children think of themselves as all-knowing Internet users; in fact, this is an illusion; in terms of knowledge of new information technologies, children are approximately on the same level as adults.

Children have problems on the Internet due to their high activity and confidence in their knowledge.

Fraud spreads easily on the Internet due to anonymity, and there are high risks of facing persecution and surveillance. Often active children encounter various types of humiliation, personal insults or blackmail, and this is only a small part of the troubles.

A technical solution to such problems has not yet been found on the Internet. The only reliable protection is a trusting relationship between children and adults.

The main task of adults is to ensure that children do not receive “dirty” information that often ends up on the Internet. And staying away from the computer is not an option. The Internet is needed as an assistant in studying.

When children and their parents surf the Internet, trust is born, mutual respect grows, and the level of knowledge and skills increases. It also prevents the risks of encountering scammers and other negative situations.

To stay safe on the Internet, take an interest in your children’s activities, praise them for successes, and support them in difficulties. In order for children to trust you, you need to respect their activities and not judge them.

Parents must be patient, especially when the child is 13-14 years old. With secretive teenagers you will need to be cunning. The topic of Internet incidents can be used as an excuse for an important conversation. Or provide information in the form of a story to a third party. Tell another family member about an incident that allegedly happened to someone your child's age. But make sure your child hears the conversation. Information presented in such an indirect way is accepted by the most stubborn maximalists.

Children's safety on the Internet: practical protection

Trust and warm relationships in the family are important and must be maintained constantly. Children should feel that your goal is only to teach and help, and in no case to punish. Then in any situation the children will trust you. At the same time, you must competently control the process of accessing the Internet.

1. You have the right to set a certain time for using the network on your devices.

2. The following issues need to be discussed:

What can you do online?

When and where can you use gadgets?

How much time is wise to spend on the Internet?

3. Talk to your children about the World Wide Web more often. Warn about possible dangers and threats that await you on the Internet. Reliability and accuracy of information is an important part of risk protection.

You must be aware of the events of children's lives in both the real and virtual world.

Genuine interest in children's online activities and activities is the best advantage.

4. As a unifying step, ask them to create a page for you on the social network VKontakte or Odnoklassniki, or register in your child’s favorite game.

5. It is necessary to talk about how to behave correctly online, that politeness and friendliness are above all.

6. It is necessary to convey to children that anonymity in the virtual world is an illusion, and every action can leave consequences, not always positive.

7. Protection of personal data and information is considered necessary. Any data can be used for personal gain and even against him.

8. You should inform about security measures and help set privacy in the settings on your favorite sites.

9. Tell your children where to go with problems, for example, site administrators or technical support.

An adult should be an example of a responsible Internet user. Increase your level of knowledge and usage skills, and also follow the rules, this will be an effective example for children.

Children's safety on the Internet: Social networks

After you find out that your children have opened a page on a social network, do not curse. Teach children what online social networks are.

The most common cases of registering on social networks occur due to imitating peers who have a profile, as well as to look cool and mature. If you ask to delete an account, children can create a new one without you knowing. That's why tell us about:

How and why it is used;

Who might be there?

How it works.

Set up privacy for your children, tell them why their profile should not be made available to any public, and also help them come up with a memorable, strong password.

But don’t spy on or check your children’s personal correspondence, give them their space.

You should definitely talk about the threats that may arise when communicating on social networks:

• The main problem is communication with strangers and careless handling of personal information.
• Children aged 10 to 13 talked online with users they did not know personally. And this is what most children do.

The risk is that children are naive and gullible and can tell almost any information about themselves.

According to statistics, children do this in 60% of cases. They give contact numbers, address, institution where they study, talk about hobbies, interests, and easily send their photos.

Children's safety on the Internet: how to resist scammers?

Judging by the practice of the “Online Children” helpline at 8-800-250-00-15, personal information can be used by scammers for blackmail, sexual harassment and other illegal actions.

You can ensure the safety of your children and home users on the Internet only by warning them about all sorts of problems, threats and risks. Make sure that in an unforeseen situation your children do not get confused and turn to you first.

You should not try to fight scammers yourself. Most often, hackers and network attackers are experienced people who know the Internet and computer software well. They are able to assess the risks they are taking.

Report the problematic site to the administration of official authoritative resources, and if the data is confirmed, such a source of communication will be blocked. To counter fraudsters, write to any of the following services:

4. Avira Security Service:

In the next article, we will talk about practical ways to protect your child from unwanted information and fraud.

Best wishes to you. See you on the pages of our website

The best way to thank the author for the material is to share it on social networks:

Don’t play with matches, don’t talk to strangers, be careful at the pedestrian crossing... Often it seems to us that only the outside world is fraught with serious threats, and the child is safe at home. Especially if he sits at the computer and doesn’t wander around the apartment looking for “something to do.” Meanwhile, every access to the Internet today can be compared to going into outer space. Roman Veraksich, a security expert at McAfee, a division of Intel Security, answers questions about how to help children avoid real problems in the virtual world.

— It’s no secret that the Internet was created by adults for adults. Guided by this principle, in some families an unconditional taboo is imposed on using the network. Maybe this is the panacea for online threats?

- I'm sure not. The World Wide Web is a space originally intended for adults, but provides a lot of opportunities for learning, development, and communication for children. To exclude him from a child’s life means to limit him, thereby only worsening the situation and turning a tool for obtaining information and communication into a forbidden fruit.

Imagine that there is an open pond near your house. What will you do? Suppose you forbid children to approach him. What can happen when you are not around? If a child stumbles, when will friends call for a swim? Isn't it better to teach children to swim? Same with the network. We create high-quality antivirus products, conduct serious research to identify online threats and develop ways to counteract scammers, but we clearly understand that the foundations of security are laid in the family. Parents who trust their children, teach them, and are truly interested in their lives have much less to worry about.

— List the main types of online threats. What should we be afraid of first?

— They can be divided into three groups. The first unites threats associated with communication on the Internet: virtual terror, propaganda of cruelty, extremism and intolerance, online pedophilia, contacts with online scammers, “cybersuicide” or coordinated suicides, etc. The second is unwanted content. Unfortunately, it is so diverse and sometimes monstrous that limiting access to information of this kind would bring no less benefit to adults. The third is malware, namely viruses, phishing attacks, spam bots, droppers, etc.

In my opinion, it is important to pay attention not only to the physical safety of children, but also to their psychological comfort, since moral violence can traumatize a child and adversely affect the course of his future life. According to the results of the study “Teenagers at the Computer 2014: Issues of Protecting Personal Information, Communication on Social Networks and Cyberbullying,” 87% of young Internet users witnessed cyberbullying, or intimidation and bullying online. For comparison: last year only 27% encountered manifestations of cruelty in virtual communication. teenagers.

— Tell us more about the phenomenon of cyberbullying.

— Cyberbullying is teenage virtual terror, anonymous harassment, which often leads to real physical confrontations. According to the same study, 72% of those who admitted to being the target of bullying said it was caused by appearance, 26% by nationality or religion, and 22% by gender. Witnesses of cyberbullying underestimate the emotional effect of what is happening and say that in most cases it results in resentment, anger, or deletion of an account on social networks. At the same time, almost a quarter - 24% - of respondents do not know what to do if they become the target of insults.

— How to protect yourself from such attacks?

— It is important to teach a child not to share personal information online and not to publish confidential data. Excessive frankness on the Internet is fraught. At the same time, it is important to remember that personal information may become available unintentionally: by using autocomplete functions, allowing applications to track location, filling out fields indicating address and telephone number, a child exposes himself to additional danger.

Contact between parents and children is a key factor on which a teenager’s behavior in virtual life depends. Parents must navigate social networks, know what sites their children are on and how they spend their time, and, in addition, improve their own level of technical awareness. For example, in the case of cyberbullying, it is the parent who can draw attention to the fact that this form of harassment is well documented, that is, it leaves traces online that can be used as evidence if necessary.

Installing a high-quality anti-virus program is one of the mandatory components of protection against online threats, and today it is possible to secure all digital devices of a family with Internet access in one step. If parents are just planning to buy a smartphone or tablet for their child, you can choose devices on which a trial version of such a security application is already installed.

— There is an opinion that young gamers are ahead of their peers in matters of computer literacy. Does this mean that they are not threatened by network attacks?

- This is partly true. Teenagers who are passionate about computer games master the virtual space faster. However, they are exposed to a number of specific threats, namely: hacking of game accounts, pirated sites flooded with malware, phishing emails with infected attachments on behalf of well-known developers, etc.

The rules of online behavior for gamers are well known. First, protect your game account. A carefully selected password and its timely replacement, ignoring letters asking you to enter a password on a specified resource under any pretext, a personal email address for each character, and refusing to autofill will help with this. Secondly, do not download games from suspicious sites. And thirdly, install a high-quality antivirus.

— What else can you do to protect yourself from intruders?

— I would suggest accompanying every response on the network with a question addressed to yourself: “Why am I being asked about this, and why am I doing this?” Such inner vigilance will allow you to always remain alert.

I will repeat the key requirements: do not use GPS services to fix your location, activate personal data privacy settings, do not share personal information, use an antivirus, double-check the IP addresses of stores and domain names of websites and do not forget that, using anonymity, under the guise of a pleasant interlocutor Anyone can be hiding.

Parents, in turn, must understand that their children’s online behavior largely reflects their true concerns and needs. Guiding your child sensitively and delicately, openly discussing situations that may arise on the Internet, and finally, learning new technologies together and installing anti-virus programs - nothing will be superfluous in ensuring the safety of those who are priceless.

Discussion

My child also does not get out of social networks, and it seems to me that there is no escape from this. You need to adapt and teach your child to use these benefits of civilization. An interesting point about marking a location on maps on social networks and other sites - I strictly forbid my daughter to do this. I allow you to write comments only from VKontakte.
For games, now they are so different and you can communicate with peers in them, just like on the street. That’s why I don’t prohibit it, I just selected a few sites where we’ll say normal, non-aggressive games and let the child sit. Let's say Agario is a neutral toy and develops logic.

The era of the information boom has brought enormous changes to the consciousness of billions of people. Our world is gradually transforming, acquiring new and incomprehensible standards, the main source of which is the practically uncontrolled Internet. One way or another, literally all young people sooner or later become part of the virtual environment, the power of influence of which is difficult to overestimate. Who, if not us, parents, accomplished individuals and people wise in life experience, should provide maximum protection to our offspring from everything that could threaten their development, upbringing and even life? The safety of children on the Internet is the most important issue that must be addressed now. How to do this and what needs to be done? What should you be wary of first of all and what can lead to a situation when parents frivolously ignore the serious consequences of their children’s uncontrolled Internet sessions? The obvious lies on the surface - a child can unknowingly expose himself, and at the same time his family, to far from comical danger...

Point of no return

So, when your child finds himself alone with the operating system, a genuine interest awakens in him: how to manage all this and what needs to be done to watch his favorite cartoon? From now on, a somewhat silent problem, namely the safety of children on the Internet, becomes your headache. Because it is you who will show your child how to log on to the Internet and what needs to be done in order for the monitor screen to light up with long-awaited shots of children's joy. The modern child is incredibly perceptive, you can be sure that he will grasp the meaning and sequence of your actions with particular ease. After which, during the hours of your absence, your son or daughter will definitely put the acquired knowledge into practice. Perhaps at first you will feel a certain sense of pride that your child can independently log into the Internet and play multimedia content. You may even find it an incredible time saver. However, the Internet today is a rather serious problem, since, in fact, the World Wide Web is incredibly dangerous for a child. Believe me, you have every reason to worry about your child when you are not around during his Internet sessions.

Global threats

Not every adult understands what to watch out for in the boundless digital space of the Internet. However, your child should not only be informed about what threats exist, but also understand how to avoid them if unusual situations arise. This is, first of all:

• Danger of infection through malware.
• Unimpeded access to inappropriate content (content of Internet pages).
• Meeting and communicating with other network users.
• Publication of confidential data.
• Making an uncontrolled purchase.

Don’t put off discussing these points with your child; hold a unique event on Internet safety. And let such conversations become a family tradition.

Set aside enough time so that you are not distracted, and then tell your child in detail what not to do on the Internet.

The topic of a separate discussion is: on the Internet." It doesn’t matter how old your children are, how confident you are about what the child will not do, how much you count on the prudent behavior of your child in general. Only with a son or daughter will they help you in a timely manner respond to an unfavorable situation. Always keep your finger on the pulse of children’s interests, pay attention to the slightest change in your child’s behavior. The recommendations below will allow you to better influence the upbringing of your children, and will also give you the opportunity to more subtly understand the psychology of the younger generation.

Family agreement

Get together, the whole family, and propose to develop a kind of document that will reflect all the rights and obligations of each of the participants in the Internet community, that is, each of the households who in one way or another use a PC to access the Internet, including security rules children on the Internet. Don't let such an official approach to everyday affairs scare you. Children love to be treated like adults. Therefore, their attitude towards the family agreement will be taken with all the seriousness that a child can understand. Such an Internet safety event will allow the child to respect the attention given to him. The result will not be long in coming.

So, on the agenda!

• Which Internet resources (sites) can your children visit and for what purpose.
• How long can a child be online (meaning the total time, taking into account the frequency criterion).
• What actions should be taken when something bothers an Internet “newbie”.
• How to protect personal data.
• Politeness and principles of behavior in the information space.
• What rules exist for children's safety on the Internet?

All these points must have a clear and unambiguously understood wording. Of course, over time something will have to be adjusted, amendments made somewhere. However, the essence of the agreement should remain unchanged - unconditional fulfillment of the obligations undertaken (the children will simply be delighted).

Teach your child to use the browser and instant messengers

It is on this skill that the basics of Internet security are based. First of all, the World Wide Web gives us the opportunity for limitless communication. This is precisely why instant messaging services are so incredibly popular. However, the process of communication on the Internet still requires compliance with basic security rules.

• When using chat, never expose your personal information.
• Don't talk to strangers.
• Don't be a spreader of rumors and gossip.

These are just some of the internet safety rules. Otherwise, you, parents, need to constantly monitor your child for new acquaintances on the Internet and monitor the history of Internet pages visited by your child, which, in general, is not so difficult to do by performing a few simple steps in the browser.

Amulet in an adult way

Trust is good! However, let’s not forget that not everything can be foreseen... There is no guarantee that the child will not succumb to the temptation (perhaps peers will tell him, or “caring uncles and aunts” from television) to go to a place where he is categorically forbidden to be. How to anticipate such a situation and what needs to be done?

Staying safe online

Perhaps you have heard of a service called Parental Control? It is with the help of this software that you can reliably protect your children from the often occurring situation - “it’s too early.” All examples below are relevant for Windows 7.

Step #1: Create a new account

Attention!

To use all Internet security settings, since Windows 7 has some limitations in functionality, it is recommended to download an additional parental control component, namely “Family Safety”. You can download this application absolutely free from the official Windows Live website. However, for this service to work correctly, you need to register in the system, which, in general, will only take a few minutes of your time. At the same time, you will get an amazing monitoring and control tool. By the way, in the Windows 8 operating system, the specified component is integrated into the OS. It is worth noting that the setup process is almost identical to the option presented below. So if you are the owner of a G8, all you have to do is use the specified recommendations.

Step #2: Configure Internet Security

After installing the selected component, go to the Start menu and activate the Family Safety icon.

• Enter your registration information in the appropriate checkboxes.
• Select the account you created for your child and follow the link displayed at the top of the window.
• Once you're on the Family Safety page, activate your child's account and make the appropriate settings.

Service tools and their purpose

In the window that opens, you can set the appropriate Internet security settings specifically for your child.

• Web filter - you can restrict access to certain Internet resources. Parents also have the opportunity (the next tool of the same name) to create white and black lists of sites. Please note that filters can be combined with each other. For example, the lists of allowed or blocked sites that you create will also be correctly taken into account by the service that monitors the main protections.
• Generating reports is an option that allows you (the administrator) to view brief information about which sites your child visited and how much time he spent there, as well as what programs he downloaded from the Internet or used on his computer.
• Time limit - you are given the right to set a limit on the use of Internet traffic, according to the specified hours of activity. That is, the security system takes complete control of the Internet connection.
• Restricting games and applications are two independent tools with which you can block your child’s access to use a particular software product.

An incredibly convenient service that allows, as they say, to subtly define the shaky line between the concepts of “possible” and “impossible.” It makes sense to activate the “Prohibit downloading files” option, especially in cases where the child is just learning the rules of Internet safety and is not entirely sure of his actions.

Step #3: Antivirus protection

It is difficult to imagine what can happen to a user’s machine (PC) when working on the Internet if the appropriate software is not installed on it, which is capable of counteracting malicious code in the form of various software viruses. But the information security of children on the Internet directly depends on the effectiveness of anti-virus protection. For example, the popular software product Kaspersky Internet Security blocks sites that you do not want to view. This antivirus has a lot of built-in filters in its arsenal, including its own “Parental Control”, so to speak, increased vigilance. However, there are many equally effective software solutions, the “vigilance” of which can sometimes seem excessive to an inexperienced user, since the built-in firewall requires certain specialized knowledge to configure. Despite this, in order to ensure the complete safety of children on the Internet, parents should study all the nuances and subtleties of anti-virus “tuning”.

Some tricks, or what the inquisitive mind of a child is capable of

First of all, make sure that your administrator login password is out of reach of anyone. Secondly, your child can easily bypass some restrictions by changing the system time in the BIOS of your computer. An elementary solution - set it to access the basic system.

Summing up

Only when your child knows the basics of Internet safety, understands and unquestioningly follows the recommendations of his parents, does the Internet become a source of joy and new knowledge. However, we all must understand that without organizing unobtrusive but effective control, all our efforts to protect our children from the harmful influence of corrupting information are nullified. So don’t rely too much on security software, and don’t rule out educational work after making sure all the “gaps” are fixed. Be wiser, because any barrier can be bypassed, but it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to deceive prudence. I wish you fruitful work with your children!

As mentioned above, the Internet is a world of vast opportunities. The Internet allows you to: communicate with friends, family, colleagues, access information and entertainment, study, meet people and learn new things. However, the Internet is not only your best friend, but sometimes it can also be your worst enemy.

Children chatting

A chat is an open online discussion group in which you can communicate with other people in real time using a pseudonym. Chats and chat groups are often named based on topic or age group. A discussion can involve many users, but private communication between two users is often also possible. Chatting requires your own language, etiquette and even culture. Recently, groups have appeared on social networks calling on teenagers to commit suicide, offering various methods of instant death. Communication in chats is public in nature and you have the right to go to your child’s page and read his correspondence in order to find out who he communicates with in chats, what groups he is in, and what his interests are.

Slide No. 5

There is no doubt that the Internet is beneficial for children, but the potential dangers are very real. By learning more about these threats, your family can avoid danger and prevent trouble. The dangers of the Internet for children fall into five main categories.

Cyberbullies

On the Internet, as on any playground, some people are nice and others are not. Both children and adults can use the Internet to harass or intimidate others, from calling people nicknames to making physical threats. For example, children sometimes send threatening comments or indecent images through instant messaging services or blogs, unbeknownst to parents and society, dishonoring the child.

File sharing abuse

Sharing music, videos and other files is risky. Your children may accidentally download inappropriate materials, computer viruses or spyware. Some file sharing programs give you access to your computer any time it is online.

Access to indecent content

Children are often unable to resist curiosity. While using the Internet, they may encounter information or images that you would like to restrict access to, such as content that is indecent, inappropriate for children, or does not align with your family's values. This can happen when you click on advertising or confusing links on a search page, or when sharing files over the Internet.

Cyber ​​predators

Cyber ​​predators use the Internet to target children. Their goal is to isolate the children and convince them to meet in person. The only thing we know about people online is what they tell us about themselves. Cyberpredators take advantage of this anonymity to deceive children by pretending to be another child or someone else who is trustworthy.

These individuals may also use adolescent desires for adventure and romance to form inappropriate friendships.

Invasion of privacy

Some organizations use registration or survey forms to collect personal information. When children fill out forms online without supervision, they may provide sensitive information about themselves or your family. Children may also inadvertently provide personal information or photos on blogs, personal web pages, or when playing online games.

Slide No. 6

There are several types of risks that children can face when using the Internet:

Children may access information (content) that is inappropriate for their age. This includes: pornographic, disinformation, deception, propaganda of hatred, intolerance, violence, cruelty, extremism, drug addiction.

Children may access information, perform actions, and purchase products that are potentially harmful to them. There are sites offering instructions for making explosives, selling weapons, alcohol, as well as sites offering to take part in online gambling.

Children may be vulnerable to harassment from other online users who act harshly online, write insults, and make threats. Children can also download viruses onto their computers and be attacked by hackers.

Slide No. 7

Children may give away important information by filling out surveys and taking part in online competitions, and as a result, become victims of irresponsible merchants using unfair, illegal marketing methods.

Children can become victims of deception when purchasing goods over the Internet, as well as give out important financial information to other users.

Children can become victims of cybermaniacs seeking a personal meeting with the child.

Slide No. 8

To protect your family When using the Internet, you need to be aware of the dangers, talk openly with your children often, teach them to behave correctly on the Internet and use technologies that will help reduce Internet risks for your family.

Four Basic Steps will help protect your family online.

Talk to your children about what they are doing online.

Keep personal information private.

Use software products to ensure family safety.

Slide No. 9

Discuss the dangers of the Internet with your children

Talk openly with your children about the dangers of the Internet, including inappropriate content, invasions of privacy, and inappropriate connections with other children or adults. Explain to them how their own behavior can reduce the threat and keep them safe online. This knowledge will greatly help children.

Slide No. 10

Pay attention to what your children are doing online

• Keep Internet-connected devices front and center

Place all computers and Internet-connected devices where children are the center of attention, such as in the living room or family room. This also applies to all gaming devices. When your children are online, you should be able to easily see and hear what they are doing.

• Find out what your children use the Internet for

It is important to know why your children use the Internet, what they are doing there, and to be aware of what they experience while doing so. Find out what games your children play and play with them to really understand them. Check their blogs from time to time and go to the chat rooms they visit. Study their community profiles to see how they present themselves online and make sure they don't share too much personal information.

• Let your children teach you

Ask children to show what they do and who they communicate with online. Encouraging children to tell you about their world is a great way to communicate with them.

• Teach them to trust their instincts and report any troubles.

Children often instinctively know when something is wrong. Teach your children to trust their instincts and tell you immediately if they find anything on the Internet that makes them feel uncomfortable, threatened or frightened. Let them know that they will not be deprived of their computer or punished if they talk about their hobbies.

Slide No. 11

Keep personal information secret

Teach your children to check with you before giving out personal information online. until you allow them to do so. Personal information includes your children's real names, age, gender, phone number, address, school, sports team, favorite entertainment spots, feelings and emotions, and photographs. Predators target emotional vulnerability, such as sadness, loneliness, or anger. They know how to use seemingly unrelated information to determine the location of people.

Keep an eye on your kids online

Make sure you know who your children share information with through instant messaging, blogs, and other communities. Are these people friends, friends of friends, or an unlimited circle of people?

Teach your children to report suspicious activity to you.

Encourage your children to tell you immediately if anyone asks them personal questions or tries to arrange a personal meeting. Make sure children do not respond to emails asking for personal information, such as credit card or bank account numbers.

Help children choose appropriate nicknames and email addresses.

Help your children choose nicknames and email addresses that don't contain any personal information or hint at any kind of obscenity - "music_fan" or "athlete" instead of "zhenya13" or "sexy Sveta."

Slide No. 12

Set clear rules for using the Internet.

Once your children start using the Internet, you need to set clear rules about when and how they can use it, just as you did with their first bike. Tell them about the dangers and why they need to follow family rules to stay out of trouble and have fun online. Discuss the following protection recommendations IN your family on the Internet.

Don't share files or click on attachments or links in emails

You teach children not to accept gifts from strangers in the real world. This also applies to the Internet. By opening email attachments, clicking on links in an instant message or blog, or exchanging music or video files, children may open a virus, download malware, or download obscene images. Unfortunately, even messages from friends can be dangerous. Online criminals may pretend to be someone your children know, or a friend's computer may be infected with a virus that sends emails without their knowledge.

Treat others the way you want to be treated

This is the basic rule of human relationships. Give what you want back. Trying to embarrass or intimidate other people with obscene remarks is rude and unacceptable. Besides, it's a matter of common courtesy, and cyberbullying can be a crime if it goes too far.

Protect yourself

If someone disrespects you or tries to intimidate you, ignore them and use a program to block the ability to communicate with you or play the same game. If the situation gets out of control, notify the site administrator or other administrative representative.

Respect other people's property

Just because any content is easy to find and view on the Internet does not mean that the content can be copied or reposted for free. Remind children that unauthorized copying and sharing of music, games, and other copyrighted downloads is piracy. Plagiarism and computer tampering are also illegal.

Never meet in person with an online “friend.”

The people your children meet online may not be who they say they are. If your child insists on a meeting, you need to go with him and make sure that the meeting takes place in a crowded public place.

Slide No. 13-14

Use family safety software to monitor your kids online

Using program settings, you can set the websites, programs, games and DVD movies that your children can use. You can set limits based on content, site names or recommendations from independent rating sites, or based on your own considerations. Family safety programs also allow you to set individual, age-appropriate settings for each family member.

Slide No. 15

Microsoft, other technology companies, public agencies, and nonprofit organizations have developed resources to learn ways to protect your family and computer online. The Internet is a useful and attractive source of information. Knowing how to stay safe while using the Internet will ensure you and your family have the most enjoyable experience.

Slide No. 16 - 17

Additional material for safe use of the Internet ( protecting children from harmful information on the Internet, for parents) will be available in a presentation on the school website.

Slide No. 18

Conclusion: three basic rules for safe use of the Internet

(APPENDIX No. 2)

Indeed, information and communication technologies open up unique opportunities for the education system; at the same time, the problem of child safety in an information society characterized by information saturation and intensity, multi-channel influences, and a variety of transmitted values ​​is becoming increasingly relevant. You, dear parents, must remember the extreme danger that lies not so much in the computer itself, but in the information available to everyone posted on networks.

I suggest finishing our parent meeting by watching another video on child safety on the Internet.
