Something that can often be neglected is reminding our family why we establish family rules about the internet. Simply making rules may peak curiosity and could then lead to seeking out what the internet holds. If we remember to explain to our family that the intent of the rules is to keep our family safe then I think we can mitigate some of that potential curiosity.
Overall, family rules should be set regarding the internet in the home and there should be a description of the purpose for the imposed rules.
I love what you said about rules. Besides setting them, it is very important to explain, why they exist. It's like that with commandments - so much easier to follow them if you understand, that they keep you safe and happy.
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts. I especially think that explaining the intent of the rules will encourage family members to follow them.
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting point that just setting rules may lead to curiosity. You know what they say: Rules are made to be broken....
