Publisher's Synopsis
Children face more dangers in today's world than ever before, ranging from sexual predators, child pornography, cyber bullies, hate groups, gaming addiction and the list just goes on.
Eric sympathizes with parents who feel left behind in the dust, but are concerned about what their children are doing (and with whom) in cyberspace. Who are the Kids Behind the Screen provides parents with vital information about these online dangers while offering practical parenting strategies 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 to their actions.
As children grow, we help them gain the knowledge, skills, and values to make good choices - choices that will keep them safe through their lives. Eric demonstrates how these basic real-world strategies are transferable to the cyber world, without the need for advanced computer skills. These are skills and approaches created by a concerned parent for concerned parents focused on the social and safety aspects of children exploring the Internet.
By working together through the strategies offered in Who are the Kids Behind the Screen, parents discover the importance of being actively engaged with children, and how far more valuable it is than purchasing blocking software for kids online safety.
