"Online safety is still a basic parenting issue, even if our kids are the 'digital natives.' Dr. O'Keeffe's entertaining and wise insights on the internet, kids, and their changing interests will help you be confident and guide your children to internet safety." Marian Merritt, Norton Internet Safety Advocate, Symantec CorporationThe cover is a pretty one, but its appearance seems to present more of a Middle Reader story when in fact it is more for older teens in the Young Adult age group.

That is where the growth, innovation and employment is.What is going on in both books is that the authors are providing examples that are important: companies that have a purpose beyond just "maximizing shareholder return."

Without the guidance of a teacher it's *hard*Between the Internet, gaming systems, mp3 players, and cell phones, today’s kids are nearly always connected to something digital. And, because it’s developing so fast, it’s hard for parents to stay on top of the technologyand even harder to figure out how to help their kids make good decisions when it comes to these things.This informative book will guide parents through the landscape of the digital world, helping them better understand things like: The history and the future of the Internet Cyberbullying (and how to help kids deal with it if it happens to them) Social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace Gaming and virtual worlds Parental control systems that allow parents to monitor kids' online activities Digital footprints (and how kids can make sure theirs is a good one)Beyond informing readers on the latest trends in technology, Dr. In addition to helping parents understand the digital world so they can help their children thrive in it, the book also includes tips to help the whole family discover the joy of the unplugged world that is still going on around them.. Because, let’s face it, just because kids may be more technologically savvy than their parents doesn’t mean they have the wisdom and understanding to make good decisions with the media they’re using.
