Course Overview
Internet and electronic interactions are a part of many children’s lives. Internet supplies allow for a simplified distribution of text, video, images and sound. As these resources supply vast opportunities to learn and share with others, at times they can also derive risks and inconveniences. The best ways to diminish these risks are to educate yourself about the tools and resources that your child is using and to talk with your children on how they spend their time on the internet.
At Terra Sancta, we instruct children to:
- Not to share sensitive personal information on the web.
- If you receive or perceive things that make you feel uncomfortable or insecure, seek out an adult instantly.
- Behave in a kind and responsible manner (includes coaching on Cyberbullying)
- To parents, we advise talking to your children about what they are doing and self-instructing yourself on the available resources that they use.
