Featured Book: How to Protect Your Children on the Internet
How to Protect Your Children on the Internet
A Road Map for Parents and Teachers.
by Gregory S. Smith
"Gregory Smith offers parents an extremely powerful resource that is long overdue. This very "parent-friendly" book should be required reading
before allowing your child or teen to go online!" - Donald S Schnure President & CEO, Parental Control Products LLC
"Today's parents need to make protecting their children online a priority and they need to know about the available tools and how to implement them.
From technology to tips, Greg Smith's book provides a comprehensive tool that guides parents on how to create a safe online environment." - John
Cheney EVP of Product Strategy & Marketing SurfControl
"The Internet can be fantastic place, AND a dangerous place. Gregory Smith lays out how to better understand that place in terms of our children's
safety. As parents, we need to understand what our children are doing online, and this book is a great help to those of us who are novices at
technology. The book should be required reading for all parents of teens and preteens--most of whom know far less than their own children about the
Internet." - Julie Aigner-Clark, Founder, The Safe Side
"Worried about protecting your children on the Internet? This is a "must read" for every parent and educator. An informative and well-researched
guide, this is an invaluable tool in understanding the Internet and its galloping revolution. Gregory Smith's "how to book" is key to ensuring our
children's safety on the internet. I hope administrators consider making this required reading." - Maureen Appel, Headmistress, Connelly School of
the Holy Child
Book Description
The Internet has transformed the way people research, shop, conduct business, and communicate. But the Internet and technologies that enable online
interaction and access to a variety of content can be a perilous place for minors 8 to 18. The dangers are real, and parents and teachers today are
confronted with many threats they simply do not understand. This book shares the risks of the Internet by detailing recent, real-world tragedies and
revealing some of the secrets of online activities. It provides a pragmatic approach to help parents and teachers protect children against the threats
of going online. Parents and teachers are often ill-equipped to deal with the variety of devices and applications such as email, instant messaging,
browsing, blogs, cell phones, and personal digital assistant devices (PDAs) that can facilitate the dangers lurking online. How to Protect Your
Children on the Internet offers a comprehensive overview of the ways in which youth use such technologies and exposes the risks they represent. At the
same time, it provides a roadmap that will enable parents and teachers to become more engaged in children's online activities, arming them with
techniques and tips to help protect their children. Smith underscores his arguments through chilling, real-life stories, revealing approaches people
are using to deceive and to conceal their activities online. Filled with practical advice and recommendations, his book is indispensable to anyone who
uses the Internet and related technologies, and especially to those charged with keeping children safe.
