Protecting Children Online

It's a relief that many of our challenges and concerns are being addressed a year or two before we're ready for them. Some things are difficult to explain to a child, but necessary. One example is educating Katerina about online predators. She doesn't have her own email or chat with anyone yet, but I'm sure that will happen soon enough.

A great new resource is the Bad Guy Patrol, which Microsoft Canada had a hand in developing. It's designed for children 5-12 years old, and teaches them how to stay safe online.
