My daughter, Rachel is now nine years old and in the 4th grade and therefore using the internet more and more. I have set up all the parental controls on her computer and try to teach her how to be safe online.
It's not like when we were young, our children do not know a world without the internet. As they are spending more and more time online, it is so important to teach them how to use all this technology safely and responsibly.
Along with NBC News, The More You Know Learning Series has launched Growing Up Online. This is a free e-book for parents to keep their kids safe on the internet.
Download the FREE Growing Up Online eBook and be sure to watch all four entertaining comic book stories as a family, which show real situations that may occur when your kids go online.
This free e-book provides easy to use information that addresses the growing concern about kid's online privacy and cyberbullying in a unique and engaging way. Growing Up Online is packed with important tips that every parent should know.
Check out the Growing Up Online blog app for more information and tips to help your kids be safe when surfing the web.
- Quiz - Is your child internet ready? Have you talked with your kids about online safety? Take the quiz to find out if your child is internet ready.
- Comic Book Videos Watch all 4 comic book stories as a family to discuss real situations that may occur when your kids go online.
- Download the free e-book Just because they have never known a world without internet doesn't mean they know how to behave online. Download the free e-book and start a conversation with your kids.

We make sure she knows not to share any information with anyone on the internet, as well as having child blocks and constant monitoring.

She has her computer on the kitchen table so I can monitor her work. We discuss what she can and can't surf and why.
It said Congratulations You are Ready for the Net. Good job.
We have child controls on our computer and he knows that he is only allowed to go to two websites. If I see any other website has been visited, he loses his computer privilege.
Use the computer in the living room so he can be monitored!
Always monitor what is going on!

My kids aren't old enough to get online, but we will make use of parental controls.
We only let them use the laptop at the kitchen table so we can listen and observe. I will be adding some of the safety nets I saw on your blog for sure.

Currently we have on a safety net to keep most of the bad stuff out, and we have bookmarked his Lego site and a few game sites. When he wants to surf the net we watch to see what he does.

The computer is in the family room, also the iPhones stay in "airplane mode" so the internet can't be accessed while they play games.

My Grandson is monitored closely and blocks for him are in place
I tell them not to give out any personal information. We also keep the computer in a public place in the house so nobody visits any sites they don't want others to see they are visiting.
My granddaughters have parental controls in place and my oldest one does not want the internet available to her at this time, without supervision.
I am all set for the net. I better be, I have a 16 and 14 year old, lol.
