Yep it's a tough balancing act. I'm convinced an attitude of "the internet is eeevil, keep the kids off it" is counterproductive for many reasons. But how to do it safely?

We're using safeeyes.com, which not only blocks stuff and lets us see where they've been, it also (perhaps more importantly with my daughter) lets us limit the times they're allowed on.

We also set up her email so that anything coming in gets copied to mom.
