Child Safety

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT!

Our kids are the future - make sure YOU protect them!

• Facebook is NOT recommended, but IF you allow your child access PLEASE make the rule that YOU must be a "friend" so that you can monitor their activities; if your child says, "No way" - ask yourself, do you really want them on something that YOU cannot monitor?

• Cell phones are not always used correctly...monitoring your child's cell phone must be a Priority..a few tips:

  • Every few weeks look thru "Contact list" - IF you don't know a name, ask questions! Often kids will make-up names of people (adults/older kids) they don't want you to know they are texting.

  • Every few days ask to look at their "texts" - IF they erase them..YOU take away the phone for a day or two - AFTERALL YOU PAY FOR IT!!

  • Middle schoolers CRAVE privacy BUT they also REQUIRE constant supervision - their reasoning is NOT developed....TRUST your instincts!!
