Parents, Take Charge – What teens have to say…
November 25, 2007
I want to draw your attention to a great site, Take Charge, by Cox Communications: http://www.cox.com/takecharge/.
This site provides info on how to manage what your kids see and don’t see on TV and the Internet. John Walsh is the spokesperson who offers many important guidelines and safety tips for parents to implement. Part of this initiative includes an annual Internet Safety Teen Summit. The teens on the Summit panel agreed that parental involvement is CRUCIAL for teen and child safety online. The teens encouraged parents to talk conversationally and in a relaxed setting about internet safety issues rather than in the “living room” with a formal meeting style. Parents, kids want you to care enough to take charge, but be careful communicate without accusation or a dictatorial style. Visit Take Charge to learn more about what Cox Communication is doing to make the Internet and Media safer for kids.
