Download or read book Cyber Safe Kids Cyber Savvy Teens written by Nancy E. Willard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-03-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential strategies to keep children and teens safe online As our children and teens race down the onramp to the Information Superhighway, many parents feel left behind in the dust. News stories about online sexual predators, child pornography, cyberbullies, hate groups, gaming addiction, and other dangers that lurk in the online world make us feel increasingly concerned about what our children are doing (and with whom) in cyberspace. In Cyber-Safe Kids, Cyber-Savvy Teens, Internet safety expert Nancy Willard provides you with need-to-know information about those online dangers, and she gives you the practical parenting strategies necessary to help children and teens learn to use the Internet safely and responsibly. Parents protect younger children by keeping them in safe places, teaching them simple safety rules, and paying close attention. As children grow, we help them gain the knowledge, skills, and values to make good choices--choices that will keep them safe and show respect for the rights of others. In Cyber-Safe Kids, Cyber-Savvy Teens, Willard shows you how those same strategies can be translated from the real world to the cyberworld, and that you don't have to learn advanced computer skills to put them into effect. As you work on these strategies with your child, you will also discover that remaining engaged with what your children are doing online is much more valuable than any blocking software you could buy. "Willard blends the perspectives of a wise parent and a serious scholar about issues related to Internet behavior and safety. . . . Pick up the book, open it to any random page, and you will find on that page or nearby a wealth of helpful advice and useful commentary on the cyberreality facing our children and on how to deal with any of the issues she's identified." --Dick Thornburgh, J.D., former U.S. Attorney General; chair, National Academy of Sciences Committee on Youth Pornography and the Internet "Simply put, this book is a must-read for anyone--parents, educators, law enforcement, and policymakers alike--concerned with the critical issue of children's internet safety and what to do about it." --Douglas Levin, senior director of education policy, Cable in the Classroom

Download or read book Screen Time in the Mean Time written by Tracy Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Screens are everywhere, all of the time. They make life easier in so many ways. But for parents, managing screen use is a huge challenge. For the first time in history, parenting is a full-time occupation. We are expected to faithfully care for and entertain our kids most of our waking hours, without complaint and with few supportive resources. It¿s simply not possible to keep kids busy all of the time. So, we allow them to play games, text, watch videos, facetime, and use social media¿too often. Even our toddlers beg to play on mobile tablets and smartphones. But we worry about it. We hear news stories that say screens are rewiring our brains and offering an unmonitored portal for sexual predators. We see that our kids are using screens compulsively, distracted from the real world. We worry that screens are a drug, and we¿ve enabled addictive behaviors by handing them over. But strict management just isn¿t possible considering our kids need screens for school, to interact with their friends, and for edutainment. What are we to do?Dr. Bennett is a clinical psychologist and founder of GetKidsInternetSafe. Having raised one young adult and still with two teens at home, she recognizes that screens are a necessary part of everyday family life. In her work with families for over twenty years, she has created sensible screen safety parenting hacks that work. Screen Time in the Mean Time is the thinking-parent¿s-guide to screen safety, written with a warm, relatable voice that is more practical than preachy. There are no scare tactics here. Instead, she offers a refreshingly real-world perspective on child and brain development and the risks and benefits of screen use. Her easily doable parenting strategies guide parents of toddlers to teens, step-by-step for confident screen management.
