My son is nine years old and I want to him internet savvy. I want him to familiarize himself with internet operations as knowledge of the internet is a must these days. And I think he is in the right age for this. But I am also aware of the hazards of internet usage and would like to safeguard my child from them. Is this possible?
Check out the article on the site re online saftey, the link is below . I think you can download programmes to stop your kids looking up specific words/sites etc
