Gregory Smith offers parents an extremely powerful resource that is long overdue. This very "parent-friendly" book should be required reading before allowing your child or teen to go online! -- Donald S Schnure, President and CEO of Parental Control Products LLC Today's parents need to make protecting their children online a priority and they need to know about the available tools and how to implement them. From technology to tips, Greg Smith's book provides a comprehensive tool that guides parents on how to create a safe online environment. -- John Cheney, Executive Vice President of Product Strategy and Marketing SurfControl The Internet can be fantastic place, AND a dangerous place. Gregory Smith lays out how to better understand that place in terms of our children's safety. As parents, we need to understand what our children are doing online, and this book is a great help to those of us who are novices at technology. The book should be required reading for all parents of teens and preteens-most of whom know far less than their own children about the Internet. -- Julie Aigner-Clark, founder of The Safe Side Worried about protecting your children on the Internet? This is a must-read for every parent and educator. An informative and well-researched guide, this is an invaluable tool in understanding the Internet and its galloping revolution. Gregory Smith's how-to book is key to ensuring our children's safety on the internet. I hope administrators consider making this required reading. -- Maureen Appel, Headmistress of the Connelly School of the Holy Child A thorough if occasionally geeked-out look at the technologies children are using and the steps parents must take to minimize their kids' chances of having a bad experience online. Smith, the chief information officer for the World Wildlife Fund, shows the 5 million ways your kids can get around the basic barriers many parents set up. He advocates a more deliberate, comprehensive approach, including aggressively limiting your child's Internet use: For middle schoolers, he recommends banning instant messaging, blocking search engines such as Google and denying access to free e-mail services such as Yahoo Mail. The amount of technical detail will liberate some and overwhelm others (hey, welcome to the Internet, folks), but you can always skip to Smith's helpfully specific recommendations, including which filtering and monitoring programs work best.
