Parents are complaining about the amount of time their 14-year-old girl spends on the Internet. Which of the following would be most important to address with the parents?
A) "Limit her use of the Internet to an hour per day.".
B) "Does she do her homework and socialize in person?"
C) "Can you place the computer where you can keep an eye on her?"
D) "You need to warn her about protecting her identity.".
B
Feedback:
Although having the computer in a family area is better than putting it in her room, and warning her about protecting her identity is key, it is important to determine if the child is neglecting responsibilities, schoolwork, household activities, friends, or other forms of personal interaction. Once this is determined, then reasonable time limits for the child's use of the Internet can be established.
