My Product Reviews

With a wealth of information on the internet nowadays, it is becoming more and more relevant for children to participate in online communities.

Some might say that it is irresponsible for a parent to let their child surf the internet unsupervised, and I guess  I would have to agreed to an extent, however I feel that parents should ensure that they don’t shelter their children too much so that it hinders their intellectual development.

There is much to learn on the internet and the resources are unlimited. You can just about find anything you want on any topic you want. And although the information is available online it does take considerable practice to type in the right keywords that will bring you back the best results.

So my view on the matter is to assign small online tasks to your child and let them carry out the task to completion, this way you know exactly what they are doing online and you can check the results once they have finished.

Okay, so I assigned my 8 year old and 9 year old sons a task and that was to start building their own blog on blogger.com

What I am finding is that in order for their time online to be productive they really should start off by documenting on a piece of paper what they want to blog about.

Anyway, here are there website Jacob’s and Jackson.

So, it’ll be interesting to see how they get on over the upcoming months.
