Internet Safety / Cyber Safety Talk for Families

Heloise "Lois" Ridley, MBA, MA —  January 27, 2014

Again I am preparing for a speaking presentation on Internet Safety / Cyber Safety for families for the ENOCH Convention in May and other locations.

I am the first to mention, I am NOT an internet guru by any stretch of the imagination. But my life was changed a few years ago when I had several kids and youth came to me to ask:

 

.Pray for Me - Addiction with caption

“…Can you Please Pray for Me? I’m addicted to Pornography & I want to Stop.”

 

I believe God wants to help our children. He wants to give us Parents, teachers, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends… the tools to help our families either stay clear of internet addictions, cyber bullying and predators.

From what I have seen over the years as a parent, Children’s Pastor and friend to many wonderful, loved children and youth….this is a formidable but doable task.

I strongly believe that we as parents, caretakers and educators:

Can equip our children with wisdom and knowledge to help them make wise choices online.

Can provide a safe haven for children and youth who realize they are off track and want help to reach out without judgment.

Can help them get back on track and offer services based on the level of support they need.

 

The focus of this year’s ENOCH Convention talk will be to create in our homes a character based internet safety plan that we can easily maintain. 

Details can be found via the link above and the title is:

Internet Safety to Protect Your Children:
A Preschool to High School Plan

I will also be sharing this information at other locations this year. If you would like to discuss me sharing with your group or organization to help support this effort to protect our children online. Please contact me.

 

With God’s help we can keep them safer. Our focus at this time is to help families connect with the inspiration, wisdom, discernment, information and resources they need to make the necessary adjustments in their homes for improved internet safety.
