Thousands of children use INTERNET everyday without any problems at all, but we've all heard about danger they could find themselves in. I am a mother ,and I always worry when my kids are online, that is why I pay close attention to what they do when online. Here are some tips so you can be sure that your kids are safe when they are online.

1. The most Important thing you can do to keep your children safe when they are on INTERNET is to be right there with them while they are online. You should not let them surf INTERNET in their bedrooms or in another room away from you. If this is not a possibilty, then make sure you are often in and out of room to keep an eye on what is going on. Be sure you know what your kids are doing online at all times.

2. Before allowing your children on INTERNET ,let them know what is and what is not allowed and stick with these rules. For example, you could tell them no e-mailing, no chat rooms, or whatever guidelines you decide to set for them. Also, let them know that should they decide to break any of your rules, then they will not be allowed online anymore, until they agree to follow rules you set for them.

3. Get involved in what your kids are doing online. Ask them to show you some of their favorite sites. Have them show you what they like to do when they are online. This will help you determine if there are any problems or concerns that need to be addressed with them. Another way to keep a check on which websites they have visited, click on HISTORY in your browser window.

4. Down load some filtering software. You can find software available that can stop your child giving out personal information such as their name, address, and telephone number. Here are a couple of filtering software you can check out:

We - Blocker...........Furnishes users with free software that allows parents to monitor their children's Internet access and filter out inappropriate sites.

Internet Filtering Software..............This Internet filtering software is free. There is no obligation, and it will work with any ISP

Stress to your kids why it is important to keep such information private.

Listed below are some tips I have learned from experience along way.

1. Life with a child who has ADHD has its challenges, but remember that your child is not acting up because they want to be difficult - they can't help it . So it 's up to you to stay calm and avoid arguing with your child. It helps to keep daily routine and home life as calm, predictable and stress-free as possible.

2. Accept that there is a problem, whether or not you accept diagnosis. Denial will not help you or your child.

3. Be prepared to feel guilty about time you spend with your ADHD child compared to time you spend with your other children. Other family members may start to feel like your are neglecting them.
