Cyber Parent!

This evening I took an online quiz to find out what type of cyber parent I am. I received an A; and I'm considered a conversation starter! YEAH ME:) I have a eight year old step son who is very computer savvy. Right now he is into using the Internet to play games and look up music videos and cartoon characters. We've had many conversations about what happens if something inappropriate were to "pop" up and discussed what IS inappropriate! Our computer is located in the family room and he is only allowed on it when an adult is in the room with him. We're a pretty open family and often discuss the dangers on Internet usage. Working at a elementary school and seeing the capabilities of these young students; I feel that it is never too early to begin to train and warn kids of appropriate behaviors on the computer.
