Protecting children – beyond the online world

How do we protect our children?

With stories like this, the task of protecting our children can seem daunting and even impossible.

Protecting children today, goes far beyond warning them of the windowless van offering candy at the playground.

What are some things you can do to protect your children….

• Listen to them!  You child’s words are of great importance. The car is a great place to speak with your child.  Turn down the radio and listen to them!  Ask about their day, their school, and their friends.  The more people about what is going on in their life, the more you can monitor it.
• Make sure your children know about the “swim suit” rule.  Your child should know that NO ONE should ask to see or touch any area that would be covered with a swim suit.  Also, no one should ever show them their “swim suit” parts. 
• Know the people that spend time with your child.  Make an effort to meet teachers, friends, parents of friends, and coaches.   Come a little early to if you are picking your child up from a practice or youth event.  It will give you great insight to see how your child interacts with adults and other children in the group.
• Listen to your children.  If they seem to be uncomfortable regarding a certain situation or person, pay close attention.  Your child’s discomfort could be a major red flag.
• Finally, look for changes your child’s attitude.  A sudden desire to spend time alone, neglect of personal hygiene, or drop in school performance is usually an indicator that something is up.  If you see a change like this in your child, contact their school.  Find out if teachers are observing the same.  A school counselor may be able to help address the situation and get your child back on track.

SeeNoEvil is here to provide the tools to monitor your child online, but we know their is so much more responsible parents must do.  We commend you for your efforts to keep your children safe, happy, and healthy in this unpredictable world.  We are honored to partner with you and your family!  Together we can make this a better, safer, and more humane world!

Back To School Online Safety

It’s that time of year, pencils are sharp, lunches are packed, and the first ball has rang, school is in session. 

Back to school, also typically means more time spent on the computer.  SeeNoEvil has listed a few tools to help your children stay safe online this back to school year.

1. Ask your child’s teacher how much time your student should be spending online for homework purposes, and ask for specific websites they should visit for homework.  That way you know how much time your child is actually doing homework online and you can check out the websites he or she will be visiting.

2. Talk to the school principal or technology director regarding what rules and software the school has in place to protect the children online.  Also, are there any Internet Safety lessons that will be taught throughout the year?

3.  Finally, get the e-mail of your child’s teacher.  Chances are, e-mail is the preferred form of communication for your child’s teacher.  It is a quick and easy way to stay in contact regarding all subjects, and you can also touch base on new ways technology is used in the classroom.

How to Save During Back to School Shopping…

How to Save During Back to School Shopping …

 

There has been a lot of talk at the SeeNoEvil office regarding back to school!  Even though it may seems as if summer just started, school is just around the corner.  SeeNoEvil has put together a few tips to help you save on your back to school shopping.

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Before you go shopping it is a good idea to take inventory to see what items you have left from last year. It keeps the items from going in the landfill and saves you money! You might be surprised to find your child may have unused notebooks, folders, or pencils and crayons still in good shape from last year.
2. Shop Early – Stores start putting back to school items on sale long before school actually begins. Even though summer is a very busy time, it is a good idea to take a look at the Sunday ads and see what back school items are on sale.
3. Visit the Dollar Store – You may be surprised to find many items on your child’s back to school list are in stock and significantly cheaper than other stores.
4. Shop Online – Some stores offer cheaper prices online. You may even find very good used items at online networks like Freecycle, E-bay, and Craigslist.

Internet Safety Rules

Internet Safety Rules from the SeeNoEvil Website

Although very harmful, pornography is not the only threat your child faces on the Internet. Studies have shown that one in 33 children and young adults have been sexually solicited online in the past year. Educating your child on the dangers of sexual predators is another way to ensure his or her safety.

 We have provided this list of Internet guidelines to assist your child in staying safe on the Internet. We suggest printing these rules and posting them near his or her computer.

1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents’ work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents’ permission.
2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
3. I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet” online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mom or dad along.
4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do, I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the online service.

“Predators don’t have to hide in the woods or on playgrounds anymore”

Wow, SeeNoEvil has posted a lot of stories about how parents need to have the tools to take control of the Internet and monitor what their children are doing online, but this one really made our hearts ache and even more driven to allow you control of the Internet.

We must make this a better world for our children, whether they are online, at the park, or at school.

SeeNoEvil offers a better, safer, online solution.
