At the same time, your computer is also intended for you to browse the web and learn, and “control” over what your child is doing online and which content is of interest to him. Your important task will be to protect him from dangers on the web and to make sure that he will not find bad content with your supervision.

Learning about safe browsing should become part of your everyday life. Regardless of whether you are using social networks, allow children to play games or pay bills through an electronic bank, and reading an e-mail. Find information and educate yourself to make sure that you use web technologies the safe way.
