| Parental guidance is an effective means to protect young people from objectionable materials on the Internet. Parents should spend time with their children on surfing the Internet. If children are allowed to browse the Internet by themselves, parents are advised to pay close attention to the content of the web pages to which they are exposed, and encourage them to discuss with you if they find any offending materials, particularly those with indecent or obscene content. By doing so, their "immunity" to objectionable materials can be strengthened and their mental health maintained.
We co-organised four sessions of “Parents' Talks on Making Good Use of the Internet” with the Hong Kong Family Welfare Society in November 2008, aiming at helping parents teach their children to use the Internet wisely and equipping them with the knowledge of installing filtering software. Footages of the talks have been uploaded to the Parent Channel of the Hong Kong Education City website: http://www.hkedcity.net/article/parent_feature_radio/090212-001/
