I did it, I jumped into the virtual world of My Space. WOW! What a cultural experience. I am amazed at how freely the kids talk to each other...and so disrespectful! Also surprising, is how many of the kids are actually asking ME to be their friend!

Maybe if more of us parents bond together in these places, we can help our kids to realize the danger of what they post or the damage they can do to others by posting a frivilous comment which degrades the self esteem of others and themselves.

I am totally in shock! How do you get the message of hope and encouragement to so many hurting kids? One kid at a time...I'm starting with mine and those they bring to our home!

Not too long ago, I mentioned that I had set my kids up with their own online identities. I think, I also mentioned that I have a really great program that WATCHES and records everything they do! I can SEE screenshots on a video recording of everything they do. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to give their kids the freedom to go online, but has the healthy fear of what the kids may be doing (because, let’s face it, you just CAN’T sit with them every minute of the day!). I am going to post a link in the column on the side of this page that you can go to check it out. They offer a FREE TRIAL so that you can be sure that you want to keep and use that program. Just what I love, a trial BEFORE the purchase!!!

Check it out at http://www.pctattletale.com/cmd.php?af=375012 (place your mouse over this address and it becomes a link that will take you right to it). It’s only $49.95 and you can put it on TWO computers with one license! ($25 per computer is a GREAT deal if you ask me!) If you have any questions about it, ask me! It’s pretty user friendly, but I know how intimidating this stuff can be when you get started.
