                          the use of the Internet. You might even want to make 
                          out a rule sheet and post it by the computer. Make sure 
                          your child understands each rule. 
                         -Tell your child that if he/she receives 
                          anything that makes him/her feel uncomfortable to immediately 
                          tell a grownup or a teacher.

                          treat other people how they would want to be treated. 
                          If your child has access to chat rooms for kids, explain 
                          that they are interacting with other children NOT computers. 
                         -Make sure your child understands that 
                          he/she should always get permission before downloading 
                          items, before entering contests, or before subscribing 
                          to anything.
