We want our kids to use the Internet, and yet we worry. But we can find ways to direct our children away from what’s wrong, towards what’s best.

       The most effective way to monitor a kid’s online activity is to monitor it. That is, to stand beside the computer from time to time when your child is at it.

       Carleton Kendrick suggests that accompanying your child to a website he often visits is no different from "checking out a playground where your kids go, to see that it’s safe."

       In any e-mail program, a look at the senders’ addresses can give you a good idea of your kids’ communicators .

       America Online allows parents to limit incoming e-mails to a finite list of communicators. Some parents also type their kids’ names into a search engine to discover what they’re saying on websites or message boards.

       Understand that as kids get older and demand more privacy, some basic know-how comes into play. America Online has been particularly effective in helping parents give their children an online experience: a "kids-only" AOL account prevents young users from all but full time-monitored chat rooms. Katherine Borsecnik , president at AOL, notes, however, that "if I have a child who’s doing a report on breast cancer, I might want to turn off the filters (过滤器）" since kids-only access would block websites with even straight medical information about breast.

       Many parents don’t know that a simple click on the "history" tab will produce a list of links to every website the computer         . Bonnie Fell opens all the files that have been downloaded by her two sons at least once a month―"whether the boys are there or not. Although they know it." As Jim Lynch, who manages message boards for the Boston-based Family Education. com, says, "Parents are the basic filter."

Software developed by an Israeli company could help concerned parents protect their children from possible dangers online.

The software from United Parents, which can be downloaded for free onto the child’s computer, sends parents a warning by email or text message when doubtful relationships or activities are discovered.

A computer analyzes(分析) children’s interactions on Facebook and within 10 days the service will also be able to follow interactions over MSN Messenger. “Parents probably know about one or two email accounts or nicknames the child uses but often there are other accounts they don’t know about,” co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Hanan Lavy said. “We give the parents the information and they choose what to do with it.” When doubtful interactions are discovered, a warning will direct parents to United Parents’ website where they can get more information and advice about what to do next. Lavy said the service protects children’s privacy more than other products that save chat content and screen captures and require parents to look through masses of information. United Parents does not share with parents private content and dialogues, only the analysis done by a computer.

A Consumer Reports survey released in May found that millions of children use Facebook without supervision, exposing themselves to serious threats from potential dangers online. Lavy, who was head of research and development at Mercury, started United Parents after he saw the risky online behavior of a relative. “I thought the methods available were so unhelpful. I wanted the option of building a community where parents can help other parents,” he said.

Though many of the products available are from small players such as United Parents, large companies such as Intel Corp’s McAfee are entering the market.
