1. I will set reasonable rules and guidelines for computer use by my children and will discuss these rules and post them near the computer as a reminder.
2. I will get to know the services and web sites my child uses. If I don’t know how to use them, I’ll have my child show me how.
3. I’ll remember to monitor my kids’ compliance with the Internet rules, especially the amount of time they spend on the computer.
4. I will not overreact if my child tells me about a problem he or she is having on the Internet. Instead, we’ll work together to try to solve the problem and prevent it from happening again.
5. I will help make the Internet a family activity.
6. I will try to get to know my child’s “online friends” just as I try to get to know his or her other friends.
