DO use the right tools. Acknowledge this and deal with it. This helps, but you will still need to keep an eye on where kids go for social and political information. Get technology on your side to help you protect your kids. DO talk about the Internet.
Nothing demystifies a topic like conversation.
Talk to your kids about the Internet in general, and specifically, about what they see on it. Let them know this is a cool topic for discussion with you, and that they can always come to you with questions and opinions. DO learn the rules of the road. You can pick it up together during your Net travels. You are responsible for your own children, of course, but these guidelines, as you approach the Internet will help you and your children enjoy being part of this new frontier.
