➟ It may make sense for you to set an access password
on your user account so that grandchildren can’t go
into your files without you expressly granting access.
See Chapter 3 for more about choosing passwords.
Set up a separate user account for the kids to use to
go online and save their own files and programs.
➟ Set boundaries about posting information that can
personally identify you, a family member, or friend.
Learn more about sharing info safely in Chapter 7.
➟ Teach grandchildren the skills and savvy to avoid
opening links or attachments in ads or e-mails that
can transmit spam and viruses to your computer.
➟ For the youngest grandchildren, you may want to put
your computer and Internet-connected game consoles
in a central location. This helps you to keep an eye on
what they’re doing online.
