Internet Safety

11-13 Year Olds  
From pre-teen to teen, is a time of rapid change in kids' lives. Although at this age they are still quite dependent on their families, they want more independence. Also, relationships with friends become more important and they start to take an interest in the world around them.
     
14-15 Year Olds  
In late adolescence kids also mature and are ready to interact with the world on an intellectual level. Generally, all teens are open to new ideas but lack the life experience to judge their validity.
     
GetNetWise  

Monitoring tools inform adults about a child's online activity without necessarily limiting access. Some of these tools simply record the addresses of Web sites that a child has visited. Others provide a warning message to a child if he/she visits an inappropriate site. Monitoring tools can be used with or without the knowledge of the child. GetNetWise recommends that parents and other adults discuss and explain the use of monitoring tools with children so that they can learn Internet-appropriate behavior.
