While at homeschool conferences I often present a workshop on teaching computer skills. One of the related areas I touch on is Internet Safety issues with regard to our children. Often, parents are unaware of potential dangers, and how to protect their children while allowing them to benefit from the positive aspects of using the Internet. You may not realize it, but children as young as 8 and 9 years old can stumble across Internet pornography and be drawn back to it again and again.

I have created this page to share information on Internet Safety with a wider audience. I will likely add information as I have time. Please email me with any questions or good information you may have, either on the potential hazards to be aware of, or any suggestions for "safe surfing" for our kids.

Click on the links below for the main points of safety that I present in my workshops:

Install blocking software.

Monitor your kids' use of the Internet.

Be cautious with cell phones and other mobile devices.
