For Kids and Teens  Internet Safety for Kids!
VS Grenier has put together some fun links, writing information for young writers, and so much more for your fun and enjoyment. But she also would like to touch on a few safety tips when it comes to the internet.
There are sites out there that are fun and safe for children, but you still need to be careful not to download, share, and give out personal information such as:
• Your Full Name
• Home Address
• Home or cell phone numbers
• The name of the school you attend
• Names of teams you play on
• Friends or sibling names
• The city you live in or street name
• Don’t share your email address with people you don’t know. (That means anyone you met over the internet because you don’t really know them!)
• Never agree to meet anyone you met over the internet anywhere
• Always get your parent/guardian’s permission to register for anything over the internet (such as contest, websites, etc.)
• Only chat in a chat room that your parent/guardian has monitored and approved
• If someone says something you don’t like, tell your parent/guardian immediately
• Never down load files without permission of an adult
• And never give any credit card or bank information out without adult supervision
VS Grenier hopes you have fun and stay safe while visiting some of her children's favorite sites.
