You need to protect your children from material you may not wish them to see - below are some ways you can do this.

Take an interest in what they are doing and use the Internet with them.

Control the amount of time they spend on-line. For younger children use password protection on your computer so that they can only use it when you are there.

Install "nanny" type software which controls the sites that the computer is able to access.

Locate the computer in a public area of the house, rather than hidden away in a bedroom.

Keep an eye on the sites they are visiting and encourage them to tell you about their favourite web sites.

Some Internet service providers provide areas for children to use which ensures they can only access suitable material.
