How to Find Safe Online Games For Kids

1. Log onto any major search engine. In the search area type in "safe online kids games" or more specific information such as "safe online games, toddlers."
2. Ask your child's teachers. They sometimes get ideas from the Internet or learn from the students what Web sites they prefer. Parents and administrators may also offer tips. And your own kids might even know the best sites out there.
3. Parenting forums always have tons of information to pass on. The best advice is word of mouth from someone with experience and knowledge of the subject.
4. After finding a site you can also do research to see if there have been any safety problems. Most parents will make posts or comments if they feel their child's safety has been comprimised. Do an online search of the site name and "safety" or "scam."

Tips & Warnings

• For older children you can purchase spy equipment that connects to your computer and records everything your child has done online.
• Make sure your child never gives out any personal information no matter what site they are on.
