8 Ways to Educate your Child about Mobile Phone Safety

Mobile phones make it easy for people to send and receive content. Even the unwanted and inappropriate ones. Your child is not an exception. Sexual offenders typically use the mobile phone as bait, as means of connecting with their would be victim. Much like Internet safety, supervision and regulation are the best ways you can protect your child from falling prey to abusers. Some steps you can take:

1. Program only your number and numbers of other people who have a legitimate reason for calling your child (such as caregivers or classmates). Teach your child to never answer calls from other numbers.

2. Some phones can be programmed so that they do not receive calls from unprogrammed numbers.

3. If your child receives a text message from an unknown number or person, your child should never answer and should show this to you.

4. Give your child the cellphone only if you will be apart, and make sure it is turned off when she is in class or it is time to do homework. You may also want to establish a phone curfew, by asking them to surrender their phones to you at a certain time of the night.

5. Set budget caps for load. She can only use a certain amount from her allowance or she cannot spend more than a certain amount in a week or month.

6. Ask from time to time who calls or texts her.

7. Even if your child is older (say, in high school), she should never entertain texts or calls from people claiming to be girls or boys her age who wants to be friends.

8. Even if the text message is from someone they know, if the content make them uncomfortable, they should tell you right away. Emphasize that you will not blame her or get mad.

Planning to make a Buy and Sell website.

Kadayawan is just weeks from now, and there are plenty of exhibits that is being shown on some establishments. Last year I went to Central Bank to watch some exhibit, and there were plenty of products that was really great. Although last year I went there just to take picture for my site, but this year aside from taking photos I'll also gonna do some research and inquiries on products that I would like to buy and sell. Before if you go buying and selling you have to pay much for advertising, promoting the product through newspapers or maybe giving handouts of the products on the streets, but with the Internet nowadays you have another resource to advertise that product of your's.

Although it would require much work, a budget for the domain, for the hosting, a web programmer. Yup it's a risk, but every business there is always risk. But first things first, I still have to choose what product to buy and sell. Of course there is always the option to buy online and sell it online, a friend of mine even suggest to look into buy or sell websites. He said if you can buy a website and if that site would earn big try holding it for a while, but if you can sell it more than the price when you bought it, it would also be good. Wow, I think that would be a great, and it would also be another alternative of mine.

Signs That your Child is on Dope

It is not always easy for parents to tell if their child is using or experimenting with drugs. Some of the warning signs include:

• Drop in school performance
• Decrease in out of school activities (such as sports)
• Red eyes
• Always tired
• Suddenly having a new set of friends
• Irregular behavior and mood swings
• Withdrawal from family contact
• Changed eating pattern
• Money or valuable items going missing

Of course, many of these are features of normal adolescence, so tread warily if your suspicions are raised. Be honest with your child about your concerns and avoid being judgmental. It will only turn off your teener.
