I am a parent who until not very long ago no very little about the world wide web and what I did know gave me great concern. I knew that i needed to let my children use the web as its so important to their development and IT skills. So I had to look for away to keep things under control and safe. Just to give you a bit of back ground on my family I have two children Sally aged six and Sam aged fifteen. Sam is really into computers and has his own lap top which he uses in his room where as Sally has only just started to use the web and accesses it on our main PC.

So anyway back to the point, I began my quest for information about protecting my children on the Internet ironically enough on the Internet. I found a great deal of good advice which may seem simple but was news to me. The first and probably most important tip I found online was all about setting clear ground rules for Internet use such as when the computer can be used and what for. The second tip was about where the computer is kept and operated, this tip said that the computer should always be kept in full view. This idea made a lot of sense but I couldn’t really takes Sam lap top from him after letting him have it for years. However it was the third piece of advice that I found really useful. The site I was on recommended two bits of software PC Tattle Tale and Net Nanny. The first bit of software PC Tattle Tale was perfect for keeping an eye on what Sam was up to, the software monitors everything your child does on line without them knowing. The Second product Net Nanny was perfect for Sally as it blocks harmful conten. I bought them both and now I have no problem letting my kids go on line as I know exactly what they are doing.
