Summary

The Internet is a fantastic place with so much information it can make your head swim. Kids can learn a lot by being online, but there are also dangers they need to be protected from.

There are tools to help parents restrict what their kids do and see on the Internet. But, we stress that no program is a substitute for open communication with your kids. Decide on what the appropriate usage policy is for your family, communicate it openly to your kids, and enforce consequences if they abuse the privilege.
