8. Tips for dealing with
excessive internet use
Communicate
Talk to their children about what they enjoy doing online and
try to understand their interests.
Set house rules
Work out some boundaries for their children's access to the
internet. It is better that children understand what parents
expect rather than trying to work it out for themselves.
Families can determine some consequences together if the
rules are broken.
Supervise
Make sure they can adequately supervise what their children
are doing online, particularly younger children. They can
move the computer into a public area of the house to make it
easier.
Introduce other family activities
Ensuring children are exposed to a range of other, non-
internet-based activities is a good way to help them lead a
balanced lifestyle.
