CHAT MINDER

CHAT MINDER.

Indian children too have been bitten by the chat-bug. And children seem to forget that mamma taught them never to talk to strangers !

You don't want your children talking to strangers, but that is what the Internet is full of. Strangers of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, countries, languages -- and it is truly a wonderful thing that your kids can get connected to the world. However, just like anywhere there are the bad people lurking out there. What you can do is to teach your children not to give out personal information about themselves like their last name, home address, and telephone number. Also there are numerous items of software like chatminder, chatnanny etc that filter out those things you don't want your children exposed to and they are quite effective even during chats.

CHAT MINDER ! Most filtering programs do a good job of limiting a child’s access to the dark side of the Net, but they’re not foolproof — a sophisticated teenager may be able to find ways around the blocking mechanisms. Yet new forms of surveillance can help you track you child’s computer activities online and off. FILTERS DON’T WORK everywhere, especially in chat rooms. And not all parents like the kind of censorship that filtering programs employ.

WHAT IS CHAT MINDER?

Unlike regular Web surfing, chat conversations are temporal and don’t leave a trail in Web browsing software. ChatMinder is specifically designed to capture online chat conversations.ChatMinder’s ease of use, straightforward design and impressive performance make it an extremely useful tool for parents of chat-happy teens. ChatMinder is password protected and supplies the initial password, which you are encouraged to change. The help file comes with a convenient summary of some of the typical shorthand terms used in chat rooms, a great help for parents who need to interpret what they’re reading.

Spend time with your children when they go online. Chatting is fun for kids but there are dangers involved. There have been cases when innocent and trusting children have fallen prey to paedophiles. The more involved you are with your children's online activities, the easier it will be to set limits that are appropriate. Educate children with SAFETY TIPS while being online and chatting. Filtering tools are a great way to tailor your child's online experience, but there is no substitute for parental involvement online.

As parents, you should get to know your children's online friends and their favorite online areas, just as you know their neighborhood friends and what they watch on television. In the end, there's no better safeguard than parental supervision.

WE WISH YOU HAPPY AND SAFE SURFING :-)
