Keeping your children safe online!

Adults today have the responsibility to help children learn and understand the world. Today, the internet is one of the biggest resources where children learn. The internet is full of great information but also many negative outcomes. You need to make your child aware of the good and the bad, so they can navigate it safely.

Some of the pros we can receive from the internet:

• Great communication from email, internet phones and video (Skype, OoVoO)
• Data storage and sharing knowledge all across the world.
