Contract Time
A contract is used when you suspect your teen is being
inappropriate online or violating your home rules.
If your teen violates your contract it is automatic
revocation of privileges for your determined period of
time. Have them sign it.
Hang this on the refrigerator.
Some Examples of violations:
If your teen does not know full information of his buddy.
If they X out when you come into the room.
If they tell you “you can’t see this it’s private.”
If your teen is up late at night past bed time.
If they receive money, gift certificates, cameras or scanners that
they can’t explain.
What is a Buddy List?
When looking at your child’s Buddy
List your child should be able to tell
you who each person is by the
screen name.
A Buddy List is a list in AIM, AOL,
and Yahoo of the common or
frequent contacts your child has.
If they don’t know them by first,
last name and phone number, they
should not be on the buddy list. If
you don’t know that person neither
should they.
Some kids lie about who that
person actually is and they make it
up. Check the Screen names
yourself to call their bluff.
Why is my teen’s cell phone bill
so high?
When teens are banned or
away from the computer, they
use text messaging to IM
friends who are on the
computer.
This is when they could speak
to someone you do not want
them to talk to.
You can check the cell phone
account on line and see who
they are talking to. Just sign
into the cell phone provider
online and check the in box and
out box.
