Sonnie Conducting Watcha Webtrap! For Parents @ WWCF

I am a person who believed in adding value to community, thus, the Watcha Webtrap! Seminars are one of my ways of giving back to society. To date, we are still offering this to the public for FREE, but we try to earn from the co-presentors and sponsors  [you can read our disclosure for the details].

Some have asked though for the difference of our web safety module for parents, and that for  the youth, and if it matters when one attended the track intended for the other one.

Allow me to share with you, in this 2 part series the difference between the tracts we run for parents and the one for the youth, and we will start with the seminar for the parents.

Herewith is the main tracts for the parenting seminar: FEEDS

  • F-ilter : Parents has to use the available free tools online to [1] regulate use of the internet, set and limit time of use of computer,  and [2] block  access to harmful sites. There are built-in parental control for all Apple computers, but for Windows, only Vista and Windows 7 and up has this feature. If it happens that your machine is not equipped with this, you can download  Norton’s FREE Online Family Safety tool. To restrict access to harmful sites on the web, open a FREE account on Open DNS and you can configure either the machine or the router to regulate access. The router, to regulate access using your network regardless of the device they are using. The device, to regulate access to harmful sites using the same device regardless of the network they are using. I also recommend installing a browser advisor in your preferred browser.
  • E-ngage: Parents should exert effort in making themselves relevant to the present pop culture of their kids and make a meaningful connection
  • E-ducate: This portion will not be effective unless the first E is established.
  • D-iscipline: Aside from the F aspect of discipline, parents are encourage to establish a reward system before granting the wishes of their kids, i.e. new gadget
  • S-et an example and spiritual leadership : kids will not do what we say, but they will emulate the examples we set before them. The culture of our society is a mirror of what transpire inside our home.

On Watcha Webtrap! (2), we will discuss  how kids can protect themselves on social web. The Watcha Webtrap! is the signature seminar of Web Safety Philippines and being presented by Business Values 2.0.
