15 Tips/tools to protect your child from the
internet! Coding For Kids
Coding for kids will help them improve their
analytical skills that will also help them in
school projects. Enroll your child today in
coding classes. Welcome to the age of
information, or as parents say it Welcome to the
age of too much information. Giving your
children online access is something that can
either be beautiful to behold or a disaster in
the making! Anyone whos browsed through the
un?ltered internet will agree that the open
internet is not a place for children! However,
todays education must rely on the internet as
well, and given the current state of the world
it doesnt look like things are going back to
normal anytime soon. Children will need to rely
on high-quality online educational platforms that
meet international standards, much like DIYA,
the only difference being that Do It Yourself
Academys courses also come with international
certi?cation! But of course, this doesnt mean
youre forced to keep letting your child browse
through the uncensored internet. There are
options a parent can consider that will give a
child full access to the sites they need, while
also protecting them from people online they
should never meet, and things about the world
they arent ready to see or know! 1. Manual
Child lock While there are many amazing tools
and software that can help you monitor your
childs internet usage, a good way to ensure
they dont get access to paid content even by
accident is to make sure that your account and
payment functions are blocked by a password.
2- A reliable antivirus
- Antivirus software is vital. Because the internet
is not a kind place, and accidents can occur.
The only difference is that on the internet,
something as simple as trespassing can have far
more sinister consequences. A virus can be as
harmless as playing a video on your device, to a
program stealing all your personal information. A
good antivirus will keep this from happening. - Tell them to be honest, its okay
- The internet is a big thing today, and a
conversation between parent and child regarding
how to navigate it and what they shouldnt watch
is vital! That way, your child will be more
aware of what not to do when theyre accessing
the internet. However, your child must also be
fully comfortable coming to you if a mistake has
been made. Encouraging such honest behaviour
early wont just help them improve their internet
safety - knowledge, but also help them communicate with
their parents openly and honestly. - Deputize them!
- Children are ridiculously good at learning how to
use computers and the internet in general. Once
they have displayed good internet behaviour over
a period, and their - understanding of the internet itself has
improved, you can start giving them projects! - Tell them that they must ?nd better ways to
protect their accounts and the computer. Of
course, make sure you monitor their solutions
before they implement them, but this will help
your child get on the path of maintaining
internet safety while also helping them
understand more about how the internet works and
why protection is necessary! - Positive reinforcement and ISP tracking
- With a little internet knowledge and a basic
understanding of IP addresses, you can identify
the address of the computer that your child is
using and contact your Internet service provider
to receive the list of websites your child is
visiting. However, we suggest this be done only
in extreme cases as positive reinforcement of
good internet etiquette is far more effective. - Still worried about their safety? Dont be! When
you enroll your child in one of DIYAs courses,
they will be monitored by our expert teachers
through online sessions, while - they remain in the safety of your home. So if you
