Raising Digital Families For Dummies is a really good book for beginners and experts.  I even learned a few things (mostly about cell phones, because my kids don’t have them).  It is written in a way that you should have no problems understanding what you need to do to protect your kids.  It also reminds you to talk to your kids about their behavior, and how their digital footprint will always follow them.  I cringe at my writing from when I started this blog compared to know.  I can only imagine how kids who have lived their entire lives online will fare.  I love how Amy really goes into the most popular programs out there.  She covered all the ones I could think of!

If you have kids, I highly recommend reading Raising Digital Families For Dummies!
