Safe and Healthy

Today's children are growing up in an online, digital world.  They are almost always "connected".  Parents need to be aware of the dangers so they can protect and empower their kids in the digital world.

"CyberSafe" by Gwenn Shurgin O'Keeffe is a must read.  This informative book will help parents understand things like:
  • Cyberbullying
  • Hazzards of social networking sites
  • The ins and outs of online gaming and virtual worlds
  • What is available in parental control systems and what they allow you to monitor
  • Digital footprints (and how your child can make a good one)
The book has been approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics and is dedicated to the health of all children.  Parents can find this title in the new book section at the Hibbing Public Library in 303.4834.
