You want the best for your kids. And doing the best for your children takes planning and attention. A free package of four publications from the MetLife Consumer Education Center in cooperation with the Federal government explains the steps parents can take now to help assure their child's well-being, today and tomorrow.
Children are experts at getting themselves in trouble.
Protecting Your Child helps you recognize potential hazards and gives helpful tips to avoid them. For example, the internet presents a whole new set of dangers to kids. They may become targets of harassing e-mail, be exposed to inappropriate materials, or put themselves at risk by placing too much personal information online. You can help avoid problems by knowing how your child is spending time online, and having your child explain what she is learning. Preparing a young child for the first day at school can be exciting and stressful for both of you.
