Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Families Meeting the Challenge Family and Consumer Sciences Campbell Hall 1787 Neil Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210 Families Meeting the Challenge of Going Online HYG-5166-96 Marge Wolford American families face many challenges as the information age continually infuses our society with new computer technology. Because using computers will be a way of life for our children, we need to help them learn how to use them safely. "Literacy" for the Information Age In the past, people became literate by reading, listening to words, and speaking with others. Today, information comes through electronic media messages and images. For children to be media literate, today and into next century, they must be able to interpret words, sounds, and images from a variety of electronic media sources, including the Internet. Computers are an important learning tool for children. Teaching Children to Be Responsible Parents must teach their children to learn to use new technology responsibly. Give children clear directions for completing a task, as well as time to learn and integrate new skills. Direct children's work on home computers and allow them to work alone as soon as they have learned to accept responsibility for using the computer and online services. Family "Surfing" Plan consciously for a specific time to go online and include everyone in the family. This could work for young children as well as teenagers. For example, two to three times a week could be designated as family "surf the net" time. Decide how much time will be spent and stick to a schedule, assuming that you can access the Net without technical difficulty. Set limits on how much time you will spend online. You might limit preschoolers to less time than older children, and make the limits realistic for your family's financial situation.

Have We Been Here Before? Fifty years ago, in 1946, there were 6,000 black and white TVs in the entire country, mostly in well-to-do homes. Three years later, in 1949, there were three million TVs, and, in 1951, there were 12 million. Today, more Americans have TVs than have telephones. Fifty years ago, people argued about whether TV was a tool or a toy: would it just provide mindless entertainment, or teach our children and bring the world closer together? People had asked similar questions about the radio, movies, the telephone, and even the telegraph in the 1840s! Today, theyíre asking the same kinds of questions about computers and the information superhighway. But the answer is always the same: it isnít the technology. Itís the way people use the technology that makes the difference. A lot of people believe that television could have been much better for children if parents had gotten involved back in the 1940s and early 1950s, letting the networks know what they wanted for their children. If you want the information superhighway to be something other than home shopping and video games, now is the time to GET INVOLVED! Chapter III of this Guide will give you some idea of how to do that.

Child Safety on the Information Highway Produced by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and Interactive Services Association Whatever it's called, millions of people are now connecting their personal computers to telephone lines so that they can "go online." Traditionally, online services have been oriented towards adults, but that's changing. An increasing number of schools are going online and, in many homes, children are logging on to commercial services, private bulletin boards, and the Internet. As a parent you need to understand the nature of these systems. Online services are maintained by commercial, self-regulated businesses that may screen or provide editorial/user controls, when possible, of the material contained on their systems. Computer Bulletin Boards, called BBS systems, can be operated by individuals, businesses, or organizations. The material presented is usually theme oriented offering information on hobbies and interests. While there are BBS systems that feature "adult" oriented material, most attempt to limit minors from accessing the information contained in those systems. The Internet, a global "network of networks," is not governed by any entity. This leaves no limits or checks on the kind of information that is maintained by and accessible to Internet users.

Homepage Baby Car Food ... Email Child Safety Online Is your child safe online? Most people who go online have mainly positive experiences. But, like any endeavor — Going outside, cooking, or attending school — there are some risks. The online world, like the rest of society, is made up of a wide array of people. Most are decent and respectful, but some may be rude, obnoxious, insulting, or even mean and exploitative. Children get a lot of benefit from being online, but they can also be targets of crime and exploitation in this as in any other environment. Trusting, curious, and anxious to explore this new world and the relationships it brings, children need parental supervision and common-sense advice on how to be sure that their experiences in "cyberspace" are happy, healthy, and productive. Putting the Issue in Perspective Although there have been some highly publicized cases of abuse involving the Internet and online services, reported cases are relatively infrequent. Of course, like most crimes against children, many cases go unreported, especially if the child is engaged in an activity that he or she does not want to discuss with a parent. The fact that crimes are being committed online, however, is not a reason to avoid using these services. To tell children to stop using these services would be like telling them to forgo attending school because students are sometimes victimized there.

TO HELP PROTECT YOUR CHILD Don't let your child wear clothing with his or her name on it. A child will tend to pay attention to anyone calling him or her by name. Videotape and take photos of your child two or three times per year, including profile shots. Do not leave a child unattended while shopping, visiting with neighbors or friends, or running errands. Under no circumstances should you leave a child alone in a car or truck. Make sure your child always checks with you before going anywhere with anyone. Make sure your child learns his or her address and phone number at an early age. A second phone number of a friend or relative is also helpful. Teach your child how to make a collect phone call, and to begin with "Operator...I'm in trouble; I need your help." If your child is a latch-key kid, make sure that he or she knows to keep all doors and windows locked, never let anyone know that he or she is alone, and never let anyone in the house, not even someone claiming to be a police officer or from the fire department. Those kinds of professionals know to forcibly enter in case of an emergency.

Links CHILD SAFETY Actual Dangers What Parents Can Do Teach children to be cautious and aware of their surroundings. Teach them safety and survival skills. It does not frighten them it empowers them! Give them a firm foundation in moral and ethical behavior (so they recognize inappropriate behavior.) It is irresponsible to teach children that they must always obey their elders. This can be confusing when an adult they admire is their abuser. Talk to them about "good touch and bad touch." Let them know their bodies are special and off limits to others. Tell them that children are never to blame when someone abuses them. Abusers are extremely manipulative, they will say and do anything to satisfy their urges. Keep the lines of communication open. If the child reports suspicious behaviors to you, stay calm, do not show disbelief or blame the child. Investigate the situation and report any suspicious behaviors.
