Parent Information

I'm a Parent too...
The "Kid Zone" was made by me for my two young boys to have a safe place to play on the internet. There are a lot of fun games and kid safe sites that cater directly to children, and most of the content on the Kid Zone is made up of links to these kid safe sites. There are a few that you might need to help them with as there are sign ups involved.  I have compiled fun and interesting sites that my boys have really enjoyed.  They visit the same places frequently, but change their favorites from time to time.

I hope your kids enjoy the site I have put together.

Privacy and Advertising
There are laws protecting children and computer information collection that keeps the internet in the realm of safe usage.
Many of my other websites are supported by income derived from advertising and affiliate programs, but I felt that this was not appropriate for the Kid Zone. The advertising that would be displayed could grab the attention of the children and could lead them to unsafe content.  I do not now, nor do I plan to collect any personal information from the Kid Zone site. Your browser does not need 'cookies' enabled to use the site as I am not enabling any extra capabilities to the site that are cookie driven.

Be Careful and Observe
We are all aware that there is a lot of distasteful content on the web.  How do we make sure our children are safe going out there on their own? Bring them up to understand that bad content is not good for their well being and healthy development is one aspect of this, but children, being children, will lay aside the best of advice from time to time.  Threat of loss of privileges...  but this leads to them not having the control they will need when they're older. The key is to balance their time on the computer/internet with other parts of their lives. Make sure you observe your children while they are on the internet. Set limits to the time they can use the internet, and maybe even the computer.  Be involved with them. As parents, we know all this already, but to reiterate it in relation to your child's computer and internet usage is important to me.

Disclaimer
Providing good content is one of the best ways to allow for children to use the internet.  Much like television usage, allowing children to have full access is not desirable nor recommended. On television, some shows are good, some are educational, and some are just fun for them while most of the shows available are not desirable for an adult to watch let alone children. I have tried to compile a list of site links on the Kid Zone that are a little of each, but I do not claim to know what is OK for your child, nor do I claim to be any kind of expert on child development. In allowing your child to use the Kid Zone you take full responsibility of their usage thereof. I do not claim any control of your computer or children, nor their usage of the Kid Zone.  The site is for entertainment purposes only and I am in no way responsible for the content of the sites linked from the Kid Zone, though I have made some effort to make sure the sites are all acceptable to me for my children, I do not claim the same for yours. Some of the sites require installation of various scripts and programs to allow them to run (Flash, Java, Adobe Reader, etc...), and I do not have control over these programs either.

Without further mumbo jumbo, I'd like to thank you for reading this page and being concerned for your offspring's internet usage. 

Have fun with the site! If you have any questions or recommended sites for me to add to the Kid Zone links, please send me an e-mail. I have services that I offer on other web sites (not linked from here).  If you are interested in my computer or internet services please drop me a note, and I will send you a list of sites.

Have a great day!
