A Poem Take Time
Take time to work-it is the price of success.
Take time to think-it is the source of power.
Take time to play-it is the secret of youth.
Take time to read-it is the foundation of knowledge.
Take time to worship-it is the highway of reverence and
washes the dust of earth from our eyes.
Take time to help and enjoy friends-it is the source of happiness.
Take time to love- it is the one sacrament of life.
Take time to dream-it hitches the soul to the stars.
Take time to laugh-it is the singing that helps with life's loads.
Take time to plan-it is the secret of being able to have time for the
first nine things!
I was impressed with this-hope you are
too!

Beware of Internet Predators!
The Internet is said to be a pool of information wherein
you can find information on any topic. It is the best place to gain knowledge
and information along with being in constant touch with your dear ones. Despite
many advantages and benefits, Internet is still considered to be the unsafe zone
for the kids as they may fall prey to the criminals in the world of immense pain
and treachery.
Since the advent of Internet there has been a significant
increase in number of kids falling into this trap. Despite vigilance over them
either by friends, parents, law enforcement bodies still the count is on a rise.
In certain cases the relationship is put to a stop by the timely intervention
but there are times when there are kids who are not subject to vigilance. And if
they by chance happen to meet these individuals they meet the torturous fate of
being abducted, raped, tortured or even killed.
Many internet companies,
including America Online, Yahoo!, and Netscape, offer parental control features
that allow you to block and monitor your child’s access to the World Wide Web.
You would not dare allow your child to explore all cable channels and watch
inappropriate shows, so you should also monitor your child’s access to the
internet to ensure he or she does not open any inappropriate sites.
It's
a good idea to talk to your child and explain the internet safety techniques.
Keep a close watch on what kind of persons your child is conversing with, and
monitor them during the conversation. Always be there for your child when he or
she wants to share something with you.
As a rule, schools and libraries
do not allow unlimited access to the internet. They have strict rules to
regulate what areas of World Wide Web are permissible for kids. If this is not
the case, you should raise this issue with school boards or city authorities to
impose such rules at these locations.
Internet vigilance over kids is not
only restricted to schools and homes but also to those places where your kid is
visiting. If your kid is going for the party at a friend's place then make sure
that his parents know your attitude regarding Internet access. Majority of the
parents allow their kids to go to those friends where there is complete parent
supervision.
The best way for constant supervision is in placing the
computer in that room where everyone can view the screen. It is always advisable
to place computer in a living room or family room so that there is complete
vigilance. This confirms that your kid is not alone while accessing the
Internet.
Above all, you must communicate freely with your child and talk
about the dangers of the internet. Of course, there is no point in scaring the
child but it's important to make him or her aware of potential problems that may
arise. Also teach your child how to report such individuals who are
participating in undesirable communication.
Ensuring your child’s
protection while on the internet will not only give you a safe piece of mind,
but it will also notify your child of the proper way to explore the World Wide
Web. The internet can be a fantastic place for kids of all ages as soon as you
instruct your child to the right and wrong of the internet.
