1. I will get to know the services and web sites my child uses. If I don't know how to use them, I'll get my child to show me how
 

2. I will set reasonable rules and guidelines for computer use by my children and will discuss these rules and post them near the computer as a reminder. I'll remember to monitor their compliance with these rules, especially when it comes to the amount of time they spend on the computer.

4. I promise not to use a PC or the Internet as an electronic babysitter.
 

5. I will help make the Internet a family activity and ask my child to help plan family events using the Internet.
