"Kids as young as 7 years old have their own smart phones now." Wow, that is crazy and a fact I did not know. This book is loaded with helpful hints and fact just like this. I am sure we need to be thinking more about internet safety for our kids and this book does a great job to help. This book also has some scary facts about what bad things kids can see on the internet. This book is worth checking out and I think it is always important to keep kids safe and the internet is something we don't think about our kids being exposed to but the fact is we need to protect them from the internet now too. I great book and I learned a lot. * I received this book from the author---this is my honest review*
