Why Use a Home AUP?
As parents, it is our job to set
boundaries for our children at home. When it comes to electronic devices and
the internet we should also set boundaries. It is important to make sure our
children are safe even behind screens. Talking to our children and
explaining the possible dangers of the internet is our responsibility.
Therefore, it is essential to set rules concerning the usage of electronic
devices and internet.
Creating an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for your children at
home will help demonstrate the importance of the rules. With this document
it allows the children to see how important your rules are. I have provided
an AUP template that can be modified. If you chose to have one for your
child at home.
