Think about Safety after opening the gifts

Now that the holidays are over, the gifts unwrapped and new accounts activated on all the electronic toys, cell phones, computers, and games, you need to take one more step and think about some safety tips when using them. This is especially true when kids are given Internet access, online games, and cell phones for the first time. Take the time to talk with them and establish your guidelines for their use of the equipment. Talk about what to do if they are contacted by someone they don't know and praise them when they do. You can find many online safety tips at www.internetsafetyconsulting.net You can also find family Internet and Cell Phone usage agreements that your family can use when setting the guidelines for their new access. Help everyone in your family enjoy the connectivity and access to the various networks they now have access to.
