iParents Special Class Feb. 3, 2008

On Sunday morning, February 3rd, the parents of teens class will be hearing a presentation for parents regarding internet safety for our families. Sgt. Mike Hyko, a retired Longview Police officer of 29 years, will share his experiences and positive actions we can take as parents to make the internet a useful and safe tool for our families. We will have donuts, juice and coffee available at 8:45 a.m. and begin class at 9 a.m.

Some other great resources is this article by our 2008 CHOCOHOLICFEST SPEAKER, Jason Illian. He also has a very helpful website called http://www.myspacemykids.com/ that is loaded with resources that are easy to navigate, understand, discuss, and implement.
Frontline on PBS ran a very good program two weeks ago. Check it out by clicking on "Growing Up Online". By going to this website, you can still watch the entire episode online if you choose. If you can't figure it out, ask your teen to help you...
