These are so important for parents to understand. Have you heard of Covenant Eyes monitoring and filtering programs? It is a unique program on the market because it gives the user flexibility to filter or simply monitor the Internet or both. A good filtering program is very helpful for children and families, but a good monitoring program is great for adults and children alike who want to be accountable to others about where they go online. Covenant Eyes monitoring program simply tracks (without blocking) everywhere someone goes online. Then each part of each webpage is rated and scored for its content (scores are based on obscene or pornographic material). Users choose 2 or 3 people that they want to receive a detailed "accountability report" of all their online activity (emails to them or available to see online 24/7). What this does is it allows complete freedom to the person using the Internet, but it takes away the anonymity of online activity; people are more likely to exorcise self-control when they know that others will be reviewing their whereabouts online. Covenant Eyes also has a promotional code you can use to get a free month to try out their accountability service. Go to www.covenanteyes.com and enter promocode 'onefree' to receive a free 30 day trial of the program. Great thoughts on Internet safety! These are so important for parents to understand.

I believe these suggestions would be extremely important and helpful to parents these days. As a senior citizen with no children at home, I feel thankful that we did not have such horrendous problems to deal with in raising our family. Only TV prgrams had to be monitored somewhat. There were no computers or video games. (Our concerns were more about short skirts for the girls and long hair on the boys! Minor issues compared to today's dangers.) Of course there were other problems all around, but I am speaking here of modern technology. As senior citizens and grandparents, we feel the burden to pray fervently for our grandchildren growing up with so many temptations, and for their parents, (our children,) trying to guide their own families through all the maze of stuff that is out there. God bless you all. I found your comments on taming television, video games and the internet extremely interesting.
