The Safest Email Your Kids Can Get

Do your kids have their own email accounts? Facebook page? Do you know who they’re talking to on there?

In these days of on-line predators, cyber bullying and sexting, you need to know what your child’s virtual life looks like, at least when they are very young and getting started on-line.

There is a safe way for your kids to be on email from a website called www.KidsEmail.org that provides a very safe environment for your kids to be on-line without the potential for predatory behavior from adults.

You approve their contacts and you will be notified if they receive a message from someone who is not in their contact list. You can get copied on all in-coming and out-going messages. You can also remove attachments, approve types of attachments and remove any links in messages. Here’s a short video about KidsEmail:

Parents can control the time of day children are allowed access (no late night messaging friends if you don’t want). They also can block specific senders if there is a problem with someone.

Email can be accessed on iPhones and android phones, if your child has that, or if you do and want to give them access while you are away from a computer.

The BEST part? You can try it FREE for 30 days and you do not have to put down a credit card. They aren’t trying to rope you into forgetting to cancel. Once you decide to stay, the pricing is very affordable and doesn’t cost extra for each child. If you are month-to-month, the rate is $4.95/month up to 4 accounts. If you commit to a year, you get 6 accounts and a free month all for $38.95, which is $2.99/month.

Kids have fun personalizing the appearance of their pages and KidsEmail offers different versions – a child logon and a teen logon, depending on how old your child is for different levels of sophistication.
