However, the Internet can also pose risks to our children. It is crucial to be aware of the dangers our children being exposed to and to know how to keep our child safe online.

Children must be able to show their parents what they do online and how it works. It is important for parents and guidance to have an understanding of the internet, how our children use it and the terminology used online. We must observe our children activities and who are people that they friend with.

Tips to help keep your child safe online:

• talk to your child about the dangers posed by the internet
• tell them what they should do if they become worried or concerned
• explain that anything shared online or by mobile phone could end up being seen by anyone
• understand what your child does online and know which websites they visit
• put the computer where the whole family can see it, not out of sight in a bedroom use filtering software to block inappropriate sites 
• propose safe websites where children can seek advice and guidance such as   http://www.unicef.org/malaysia/
