  • “If you wouldn’t say it, do it, or watch it with me in the room, it’s not okay.”

      Might be a bit overkill here, but keep the password from the kids might be a good idea.  Still, they can operate off of 3G or 4G on their phones.
  • Do they know, for example, how to ensure that only their friends can see what they’ve posted on Facebook? Do they understand that tweets live on in cyberspace forever?
  • One popular idea is to change the Wi-Fi password for your home network daily, and only give it to your kids when they’ve earned it via whatever rules you’ve determined.
  • ar too many parents don’t bother to check on what their kids are doing online—and the results can be disastrous.
  • Don’t let your teens sleep with their phones or computers
  • keeping desktop computers out of bedrooms.
  • The key to this is that Mom and Dad also have to follow the rules, because kids will always do as you do, not as you say. Try establishing a daily device-free time of just 10 or 15 minutes at the breakfast or dinner table, and see if you feel it has a positive impact on your family.
