We shared this article last week on our Facebook page and I wanted to go ahead and share it here also, in case you missed it. The Prevention Council of Roanoke County, a non-profit partnership with parents, youth, schools, law enforcement, and businesses who are all committed to promoting healthy development of your local youth, share a great article on Internet controls for parents.
My boys, especially my 9-almost 10-year old, have discovered YouTube. Not a necessarily a bad thing because there are tons of great things he enjoys watching and that are totally appropriate for him to watch, but it's made me realize how easily he can stumble upon something he shouldn't. {Luckily this hasn't happened. Yet.} As a parent, I want to know how best I can protect him so I'm thankful to know about so many resources available.
If your kids aren't quite ready for this stage {be thankful!} and tuck this article away until they are.
