The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Parents have the ability to screen their children's Internet access at home.
The Internet provides very serious challenges to our ability to keep from children the kinds of things that are destructive to them.
Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It's so important.
When I talk about the Internet, it's because young people are there. TV and radio are still what moves the masses, and you can't ignore that. But you also have to feed that monster that grows daily, which is the Internet.
If you look where kids are spending time on the Net, they may have all the information in the world, but they're not accessing it.
Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.
Kids listen to everything on the Internet.
I don't mind children cribbing answers off other children. It's one of the ways they can learn. I also don't think there should be too many constraints on what they can look at on the Internet.
Kids are finding out about the potential for discovery online from other sources; many of them have computers at home, for instance, or their friends have them.
When you were growing up, your mom and dad told you to look both ways before crossing the street or not to get into a car with a stranger. It's the same with the Internet. We have a big responsibility and a huge role in bringing all the stakeholders to the table - users, parents, educators, law enforcement, government organisations.
