Review
The Lorax on DVD
Giveaway
When we were children I don't think I ever imagined what my grandchildren would be able to do so much from a computer, phone or even that books would be called E -Books and that they would be read online. Children today have everything available to them online. Have you talked with your children about what's out there, what they can say to others, what information they should give out and what goes online also goes all over the world, this is the world of the online web?
If you would like to watch some really interesting clips about what it is like to grow up online and how it affects your children then download the e-book below. This free e-book gives you situations that you and your children can discuss and read together and talk over.
How did they feel about the 4 cartoons? Cyberbullying, inappropriate pictures and bad people can easily get to our children. Take the Quiz also found on this site, with your child. It can help you see if your child is Internet ready.
Below is a link to of Tips To Keep Your Child Safe:
Growing Up Online is a excellent site for children, parents and grandparents to review and watch with their children. The information it supplies is very important and very useful. I definitely recommend this site.

My daughter and I talked about the risks of giving out too much personal info on the internet and I keep the computer in our family room so that I can see what they are looking at when they are using the internet.
ReplyDeleteparental controls on the internet
ReplyDeleteI taught my child to not believe everything that they find on the internet.
ReplyDeleteI control what they are able to see, and I watch what they do while on the computer.
I taught my daughter never to talk to strangers. I believe that teaching them young prepares them. Now that she is of age to search the internet she is at a much higher risk because I can not always be there. I have taught her to protect herself from scams. If it looks or sounds to good to be true it probably is a scam. I do not allow my daughter to talk on the teen chat rooms. She does not like the fact that I keep her from those sites but I know that there are grown men pretending to be teens and lures the child to their home or to the child's home. I also control what can be searched on our home computer for added security.
ReplyDeleteI taught my daughter at a young age never to talk to strangers and that also applies to searching the internet. I know of the potential scams and fake profiles that are posted daily and I know it is my duty as a parent to teach her all about the internet. I have safe search on our home computer for added protection. I just want her to be safe and I will take the extreme measures to make sure no harm comes her way.
ReplyDeleteI taught my child about safety by having her watch a few videos. I also instilled on her that she needs not talk to strangers or bad things happen1
ReplyDeleteI talked about the risks of giving out too much personal info on the internet and I keep the computer in our family room so that I can see what they are looking at when they are using the internet.
ReplyDeleteWe monitored their usage when they were younger and always tried to explain to them that the Internet is never private.
ReplyDeleteWe have a rule never to interact with strangers and to stay away from questionable websites. My twins know not to share any information with people they do not know personally. They also know to ask whenever something new pops up, or before playing any games or visiting new websites online.
ReplyDeleteI have discussed with my son internet safety and how to be cautious. I stay in the room with him while he is on the internet.

I monitor the browser history.
ReplyDeleteI explain to them what the internet is for and that it has bad things on it. We have a list of sites my child likes to visit. We made Book Marks for each site. That way they dont need to use searches. That way things I dont want them to see dont come up. We keep webcams locked up and only let them use them when we talk to family online. I explained to them that its important to never talk to people they dont know on any site and NEVER give out any of our personal information. I monitor my kids constantly while they are online.
ReplyDeleteI explained to them that talking to strangers online is to never be done. I book mark all the sites they use so they can go straight to the site and never have to use searches. I told them that they are to never tell anyone their real name or any of our personal information.
ReplyDeleteIf I posted 2 comments I apologize. My last comment disappear after I hit publish. If I did please delete one of them.
I monitor the browser history and i dont allow her on without knowing not to talk to anyone she doesnt know

Never to give out personal information to anyone
ReplyDeleteI tell them to not click on popups or ads.

ReplyDeleteI taught my kids to only visit pre-approved sites. Never chat with anyone they didn't know in the real world. Never give out or post personal info and never click on popups or offers.
ReplyDeleteI watcch my childrens online usage very frequently and have gone so far as to go through their friends list on Facebook and weed out those who were much much older and counselled them to not friend just anyone nor to ever reveal our address or personal details to anyone.
ReplyDeleteI talk to my 16 year old and he knows what he can and cant' do, no chat rooms, no clicking things without asking first, no personal info given. he also must give me all his passwords to his accounts, email address, facebook etc. my little ones are too little to be on the computer yet.
ReplyDeleteI have helped explain how to watch for safe vs unsafe links when looking things up on a search engine.
ReplyDeletewillgriesmer@yahoo.com
I showed them what not to do and what is ok.
ReplyDeleteMy son is not old enough to be going on the internet by himself, but if he was I would tell him the specific sites that he could go to and let him know that there was a parental tracker/blocker.

ReplyDeleteThey need to get permission before using the internet and the computer is in the family room in plain site. We also have regular discussions regarding online predators and the consequences of posting on social media (which they do not have yet).
Limit the sites, and stress not giving out personal info.
ReplyDeleteI explained to her that people can pretend to be whoever they wanted to be and not talk to anyone she didn't know.

I talked with the girls I watch about why it's important not to give away any information online and to only talk to people they personally know in real life. I also try to stay in the same room when they are online and they have to tell me what they are using the computer for and what websites they are going on. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteMy children and I have discussed in length the dangers of going online. And although I have parental limits set thay are to tell me if anything makes them feel the least uncomfortable.

ReplyDeletekrazekatlady at gmail dot com
I monitor their usage whenever they are online as sometimes innocent searches can retrieve inappropriate information. They know to never give out personal information about themselves regarding name or location, etc.
ReplyDeleteI always remind them to never give out personal information
ReplyDeleteI taught them safety by going to different sites and telling them what they should and should not give out for information. I taught them that there are bad people out there who can be dangerous. I always monitor where they go when they are here but I wanted to make sure they knew the dangers so that if they were online somewhere but home they would know what not to do.

ReplyDeleteWe talked about sharing info on the internet along with me monitoring emails and I also review the history in our family computer.
ReplyDeleteI found this great video online that talked about different bad experiences kids have had, and the people who prey on children online. I also was honest with some of my experiences where I talked to someone I didn't know and how scared I was when I realized the potential consequences.
ReplyDeleteWe just tell them not sure to share personal information, and that nothing is safe.

I taught my child about safety and the Internet by setting Internet safety rules with them
ReplyDeletewe let the kids use the internet for short periods of time while being supervised. we tell them that it's important to follow the house rules or you will lose your privileges.
ReplyDeleteUse parental controls and tell kids to never give out personal information.
ReplyDeletewe have not yet had to encounter this with our child since he is only 4, but when we do it will be the same way we approach safety outdoors. Lots of information and help. Also my husband is a network engineer so he should be able to block anything unwanted. lol
ReplyDeletemy husband is a network engineer. They aren't getting into anything. lol
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet, he's still too little!
