Resources 
Child Safety and the Internet
The internet is an invaluable teaching tool. However, if you are concerned about your child accessing inappropriate content on the internet, check out the following links to articles on the subject and to companies that provide internet blocking or filtering software. I do not endorse, nor discourage, the use of the products described. Ultimately, it is your decision as a parent whether to use such software, or other means of limiting your child's access to the internet.
