Parents Guide to Internet Safety....................... $41
Date.................................................... Dec. 1, 2008
Day/Time................................ Monday, 9—11 a.m.

Like most parents, you probably have rules for how your children should deal with strangers, which TV shows, movies, and videos kids are allowed to watch, what stores they're allowed to enter and where and how far from home they're allowed to travel.  Just like exploring in the real world, online computer exploration opens a world of possibilities for children, expanding their horizons and exposing them to different cultures and ways of life.  Unfortunately, at the same time they can be exposed to a variety of dangers as they hit the road exploring the information highway.  This seminar is designed to help parents learn to set guidelines, identify dangers, implement safety tips and techniques and develop ways to monitor internet use to keep their children safe as they explore the world wide web. Early registration discount applies.
