  1. Absolutely agree. To my opinion, it is very important for parents to set a good example. For all the family we use internet filtering software Ez Internet Timer http://www.internettimer.net/

    It blocks Internet browsers, e-mails, messengers like IM, ICQ and keep them blocked for as long as I schedule it not only for the kids but also for us (parents).

    Thank you for the nice article! I follow your advice to make the Internet a family activity. smile
