What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Book Review: A Parent's Survival Guide to the Internet

A Parent's Survival Guide to the Internet, Kidd, Clark L. and Kathryn H., Bookcraft, SLC, UT, 1999.

This book is dated as to the internet, which seems to change every year.  However there are some teachings which seem to be valid no matter when.  It advices where the computer should be kept.  "The family computer may clash with the decor of the home, but your children will benefit by using the computer in a room where the family spends most of its time.  The more chance there is that others can see what your children are doing, the less opportunity they'll have to yield to temptation and break the household rules."
It also offers this list of danger signs:
Excessive use of the internet
On line at unusual times of the day
Spending too much time in chat rooms
Child looks guilty or startled when you enter the room
Gives evasive answers about on line activity
You find pornography stored on the computer
Saving files on external memory
Child receives phone calls from strangers
The child starts making long distance calls
The child receives unusual mail or packages
The child suddenly becomes withdrawn
You suspect the child is accessing the internet through other accounts
