Do you watch your kids online activity? Do you turn on MSN chat history?
Do you use online monitoring software? What works and what doesn't?
Some of it works for me but it's becoming downright scary by the latest news stories with the online predators right in our backyards... my kids are computer smart, but with different age ranges at home it can be tricky to keep up.
I found a few websites with important kids safety rules and info for parents..
www.wiredkids.org
www.wiredsafety.org
http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/positive/family/net_safety.html
Would like to hear your experiences of stuff that works besides the open communication and open family computer area. I like the idea of a safety contract like the ones in the above websites, is there a better filtering software out there?
