Steps for protecting your children in cyberspace
The biggest Internet danger facing children today is denial of access. The Internet is a portal to a limitless world of imagination, art, culture and technology, which children need to succeed in the modern world. That said, it also needs to be understood that children are particularly vulnerable to Internet dangers, and some precautions need to be taken when your children are online.
The most important step you can take to protect your children online is to sit down and talk to them about Internet safety. Children need to understand that Internet safety is not about limiting their behavior, but about protecting them from inappropriate content. There are numerous Web sites that encourage criminal activity, pornography, drug use or hate, or are simply filled with misinformation. Even young children will understand this. Print out an Internet Use Contract and post it above the computer to remind them (and you) of what is acceptable. You can find printable contracts at www.safekids.com .
The next step to protecting your children is to place the computer they will be using in a family area. Don't allow your children to have Internet access in their bedrooms. There is no reason for any child to have unlimited access to the Internet, and older kids are more likely to get in trouble if they are allowed to shut their door and surf the Web in private. By putting the computer out in the open, you can keep an eye on what your children are doing online.Always set up your child's e-mail account for them, regardless of their age. The reason for this is so that you can prevent any sensitive information from being sent over the Internet. Never include your child's full name, address, age or any other identifying information in their e-mail address. If you are forced to enter a last name, simply put a dot in the field or make one up. Don't use a date as part of the address—birth dates or graduation years can be used by predators to determine your child's true age. Use an anonymous e-mail account for your child, such as a Yahoo! account. Enable the spam blocker, and set it to automatically delete these messages. Use the Block Senders feature for any unwanted e-mails that make it to the inbox. Make sure you know your child's e-mail password and periodically check their inbox and Sent Items folder to make sure they are not corresponding with anyone dangerous.
Direct your child to "child-friendly" search engines such as Yahoo! Kids or KidsClick . If you let your child use a traditional search engine, such as Google , be sure to turn on the search filter. Google can be set to filter out explicit text and images by going to its Preferences section and setting the Safesearch Filtering level.
Lastly, make sure you are aware of any computer access your child may have outside of the home, and what security measures are available in those areas. For example, children commonly have computer access at school, the library and their friends' homes. Check with your child's school and the public library to find out what security measures are in place. Talk to the parents of your child's friends. Make sure they are aware of the rules you have for your child.
Thanks

Have you heard of Covenant Eyes monitoring and filtering programs? It is a unique program on the market because it gives the user flexibility to filter or simply monitor the Internet or both. A good filtering program is very helpful for children and families, but a good monitoring program is great for adults and children alike who want to be accountable to others about where they go online.
Covenant Eyes monitoring program simply tracks (without blocking) everywhere someone goes online. Then each part of each webpage is rated and scored for its content (scores are based on obscene or pornographic material). Users choose 2 or 3 people that they want to receive a detailed "accountability report" of all their online activity (emails to them or available to see online 24/7). What this does is it allows complete freedom to the person using the Internet, but it takes away the anonymity of online activity; people are more likely to exorcise self-control when they know that others will be reviewing their whereabouts online.
Covenant Eyes also has a promotional code you can use to get a free month to try out their accountability service. Go to www.covenanteyes.com and enter promocode 'onefree' to receive a free 30 day trial of the program.

Good post. I prefered a different, more comprehensive one-time-purchase monitoring software called PC Pandora. There are a lot of titles out there, look into stuff and read reviews and compare what you are getting and how much you are spending. Remember that just being a parent and using simple common sense goes a LONG way...
Good post!
