I have several presentations available based on internet safety for your kids and would love to present to your group, school or organization. Â I can present to kids or parents or both. Â Please contact me here if you would like more information.
The presentations are based on a number of different resources that can be found below. Â There’s so much information out there on this topic that it’s hard to go through it all. Â But, I’ve tried to find some of the best. Â I’ve found that keeping your kids safe online and with their cell phones boils down to 2 main points.
- Internet Safety is more about your relationship with your children, than about the technology.
- Internet Safety is also about knowing as much or more than your kids do about the internet.
I was also able to gather some very good links to many online resources.
