Making Surfing Safe for Kids


-- Pre-screen the Web pages that young children visit.

-- Use filtering programs to block objectionable sites. But be aware that they sometimes let in inappropriate material and block content you think is OK.

-- Place the computer in a visible spot, and stick close by when your child is online.

-- Make sure your children ask your permission before surrendering personal information on the Net.
