    A. Using supervision software,he cautions, is not a communication system

    B. That's the question I'm fighting with now — as are, I know, a growing number of parents

    C. One way to stay ahead of the game, he says, is to talk frequently with your children about what they're doing online

    D. I can imagine being reduced to spying on my children if I believe that it was the only way to protect them from pressing hard

    E. But all that changed recently, when a good friend confessed that his 14-year-old daughter had become involved with a 30-year-oldman –an adult she met in a chat room.

    F. And though the windows the Web opens up for a child are powerful doors to the world, there is also some pretty kid-unfriendly stuff out there.

    I have never been too worried about what my kids do online. I have been using the Web for about as long as there was a Web to use, and I am not an alarmist..

    My friend — I'll call him Frank — is just like me. He's been using computers for decades and is as comfortable online as he is off. Though he too has two PC-using kids, he ignored the Internet's red-light zones. Frank had always assumed that as far as the bad stuff was concerned, most of it was either interesting or manageable. This story has a happy ending; that is, Frank was able to get involved in time. What technology enabled, technology solved. Frank used the Internet to hunt down the person and find his home — which, as it turned out, was only a few towns away. Then he got a judge to sign an order forbidding this creep from having any contact with his daughter. The whole affair left Frank shaken; he felt guilty and frustrated. "She needs her computer for school. 1 can't take it away from her. What would you do?"

    . My computer-savvy daughters are 12 and 10 years old, and so much of their social lives are online; instant messaging is as much as a part of their culture as the telephone.

    But giving children immediate and uncontrolled access to the Internet without preparing them is a little like giving them the keys to the car without subjecting them to any driver's education. The population of teenagers online is rising. . And, as my friend Frank learned, the net makes it possible for the worst kind of people to creep into your home.

    As a result, a whole cottage industry aimed at concerned patents has arisen. The "solutions" range from software that allows you to spy on your kids to filters that prevent access to certain websites and chat rooms to secret software agents that will quietly e-mail you when Junior is going someplace online that he shouldn't. You can even get software timer that ends your child's online session after a set period every day.

    Clearly, this is a last-resort kind of a thing. I am entirely opposed to doing such a thing routinely. There has to be a better way.

    I was relieved to find out that Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, the noted clinical professor of pediatrics emeritus (儿科名誉教授) at Harvard Medical School, agrees that spyware is not the answer 一 and says it may even create additional problems for children. . Sit with them at the computer and discuss what they see. Share with them the values of your home and use the media to bring them out. Talking is essential.
