internet-savvy kids

Friday, March 12, 2010

gone are the days when kids play outdoor games with their friends in the neighborhood.  now, they hang out with their friends online.  they even make friends online.  that’s actually pretty scary.  you don’t know who they can meet and what kind of influence they are to the kids. 

i have a nephew and a niece who are already exposed to the internet.  sometimes it’s impressive how much they learn from what they read through the net.  but i also can’t help but worry if they should already know the things that they pick up from the net at a pretty young age.  they can surf and surf and surf and they might stumble upon a website that has adult content.  they wouldn’t even know that they shouldn’t be exposed to that kind of knowledge yet.  their parents are aware of the dangers of the internet and they are actually looking for an Internet Safety Software to monitor the internet activities of their kids.  they want to ensure that are safe while online.  you can never be complacent about the kind of information that your child is exposed to.  not to mention that there are people online who can harm your kids even virtually. 

what about you?  what are you doing to protect your child while he/she is online?
