Be a Web Safe Kid

Emoti-whats? If you are new to Internet lingo you may not have any idea what an emoticon is. Even if you know what they are, do you understand them? Let’s take it one step further, you know what they are and you have a very basis knowledge of emotions but you want to know more.

Think you are past having to deal with new things on the Internet? If you have children or grandchildren you are not too old to be aware of what the kids are doing.

Chat definitions are one example of this phenomenon. You can bury your head in the sand of the Internet age but in doing so you will not be able to understand what your children or grandchildren are doing. Since some of the communications kids are involved in can be dangerous, you will be reducing the dangers when you know what is going on.

Remember how you just couldn’t wait until your child was old enough to talk? Those first words were so exciting and you may have even recorded them. Now they have gotten older and some of their conversations may not be much more understandable than those first few words.

Your child may be into chatting, chat definitions, and chat rooms. He may even seem to spend much of his time involved in these activities. What are they and what should you, as the parent, know?
