Time
limiting
• Letting your children surf
the internet whenever their want is clearly a mistake.
The precise time-limiting guidelines that you set
will depend on individual circumstances, but there
are a few guidelines that can be used.
• The first might be to limit their online
time to the periods when a parent is at home. A
second guideline could be to strike an agreed balance
between family time, homework time and online time.
• Also, a limit can be set on the amount
of time your children are allowed to surf at random and unsupervised,
because it will increase
the likelihood of them chancing upon undesirable
sites while browsing the Internet.
