Are Your Kids Surfing Safely Online? #GrowingUpOnline #Giveaway #LoraxDVD

As my children enter school, they use computers more and more. It worries me that there are dangers in using the internet. I am not talking about catching a virus but the new growing problems of cyber-bullying and engaging in conversations with inappropriate people and content.
How do we keep our children safe? How can we be a watch dog and still give them the skills that are needed to survive in this technological age? My kids are still pretty young at 4 and 6 but you hand them cell phones/iPad/Computer... they already know how to play their favorite games and navigate through to the stuff they want.

It is impossible NOT to let them learn about technology. It would give them a disadvantage over the other kids in school and ultimately the work place. We monitor our children's play closely but even we have found them buying products on their games because it is so easy to click "buy".

What else do they do or can they do? Who are they talking to?
I keep wondering how to keep my kids safe online... I would like to say I never leave them alone with the phone while driving but that is just not true. It go me thinking... at what age should I start worrying?

Along with the email was a link that gives you a quiz on how safe your child really is... It is an eye opener!
