Also remember to tell them that even though something may seem harmless you must think twice before doing it. Mention that it is a no-no to meet someone that you only know over the internet because they most likely want to hurt you. Simply make sure that they know not to give any personal details that allows others to track you and do something that will upset you.

UPGRADE: Make sure that you are up to date with all the electronic devices in your household.

Take note of all the websites your children are using and what every child is into at that time. Even go to the extent of visiting these sites and seeing what your kids are in for and what may be hazardous.

REPLY: Show how to block others on chatting sites or how to delete an offensive message without read it. Tell your kids that it is not the right thing to get back at the bully, instead assist them in the ‘reporting process’ where they can inform moderators or Internet Service Providers.

RESTRICT: Make rules concerning the internet and how to use it wisely. Come up with consequences and punishments that will be done if they cross the line. To stop your children from getting bullied and vice-versa position the computer in a room that is occupied by majority of the family. Explain that if they are cyberbuillied it is not okay to just let it or go. If they are cyberbullying themselves tell them that they do have a chance of getting caught and getting into a lot of trouble. ||
