Parental Resources

"Safer surfing" is a family affair. As a parent, it's all about being informed, Internet savvy, and open to the possibilities of the online world for you and your child. We'd like to help. Please consider the following guidelines to promote safer surfing:

Be Sensible In Chat Rooms
Keep it Safe on Yahoo! Chat
Make The Most Of Yahoo! Messenger
Surfing As A Family Adventure
Everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask. Read about creating a Family Pledge (or just look at our sample), check out our checklist to help keep your child safe, and get informed about other issues surrounding letting your family online.
Safer Communication Online
Your children want to communicate with others; here's what you should know. How should you choose an ID with your child? What about their public profiles? And what is a privacy policy, anyway?
Plan Against Viewing or Accessing Inappropriate Material
What to do and whom to contact if your children encounter materials that make them uncomfortable. Also, some thoughts on sharing your credit card information with your children.
