Aussie kids online about two hours a day

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 10 Februari 2013 | 15.02

HOW long do your children spend in front of a computer every day?

According to research from Telstra, Aussie kids aged between 10 and 17 are online for an average two hours a day - among the highest internet usage rates in the world.

Telstra's general manager of digital inclusion, Jill Riseley, says with so many children now online it is important for parents to teach them how to be good "digital citizens".

Ms Riseley says the latest research shows the major concerns for parents of children using the internet are protecting personal information, exposure to inappropriate content and cyber-bullying.

"We found that three quarters of parents have rules for their children's internet use with access to certain websites, use of certain apps or games and limits on the amount of online time spent each day all being regulated in some way," Ms Riseley said.

"While these rules will help protect children from inappropriate content and create a balance between participating online and being active during the day, these days online safety is more than just using security software and passwords, it involves the actual ethics of being online and respect for others."

Ms Riseley says the best way for parents to teach their children respect for others and protect them against cyber-bullying is to find out what they do on social media sites and be involved in their online world.

It is also important to remind children that saying things online is the same as saying things in real life.
