In this much-needed book, Dr Baker presents three main areas of concern for our kids, including 1. cyber bullying; 2. online sexual predators; and 3. internet scams. Through Dr. Baker's invaluable advice, kids will learn what to look out for, who to avoid, and how to protect themselves when they're communicating online.
