My kids are still a little young to have email accounts but the day will soon be here and I want them to be safe. As a parent, protecting your children can seem like a full-time job. When it comes to technology, we need to stay ahead of the the game.
It freaks me out that my oldest is already asking for an iPod touch so she can text! Who does she know that would even text her back other than me and her dad??
Thankfully there are services like KidsEmail.org‘s that provides safe email accounts for kids. With an easy to use email interface, your children can keep in contact with friends and family members, but are protected from interactions with strangers and spam.
Kids can only interact with people that you the parent has approved to be in your child’s contact list. You also have oversight of all messages, plus additional parental controls and safety features.
With parental controls, spam filtering, and many useful features, parents can decide how much control to give their child when communicating with others online. Dr. Laura Schlessinger encourages parents to take an active role in protecting their kids from online dangers by using KidsEmail.org. “KidsEmail is an excellent tool for parents to use when playing an active role in keeping their kids safe from online dangers. It also helps parents teach their kids how to use the Internet safely and responsibly,” says Dr. Laura.
