Teach your kid to use the internet

My husband and I are very busy in our respective professions. That leaves us with very little time for our adolescent twin daughters. Sometimes it so happens that we are even unable to meet on a certain day due to all our schedules. I want to install a safe internet connection at home, so that I can at least communicate with my daughters. At the same time I fear their exposure to vulgar and adult sites. Is there any such service provider?

I don't think its the ISP - I'm sure you could google an application or plug-in to use with your child's browser...something like this...

there's also stuff out there like this

but its only going to be somewhat effective. They can still access blogs, and read things like this http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=50080

not that there is anything wrong with that.

I suggest adoption would solve the problem.

With adolescent twin daughters I would be more worried about them obsessing over the Jonas brothers - but I guess that could be considered kiddy porn...

You should be more concerned about them talking to maniacs online. There are plenty of non-porno websites that wackos use to interact with innocent folks.

A friend of mine recently availed services of www.kidsemail.org for his eleven year old son. Kidsemail.com enables safe internet access for kids, without them stumbling upon forbidden sites with adult content. You can check out the site for details and all the features they are offering.
