Always sit with your kids at this age when they're online.

Create a personalized online environment for your kids by adding acceptable sites to your Favorites list.

Investigate Internet-filtering tools as a complement—not a replacement—for parental supervision.

Help protect your children from offensive pop-up windows by using pop-up blocking software.

Start teaching your children about privacy. If a site encourages kids to submit their names to personalize the Web content, help your kids create an online nickname that gives away no personal information.
