KidZui Launches New Version of Company’s Award-Winning Kid’s Browser, Featuring New Ways for Children and Parents to Safely Discover and Share the Internet Together | Press Releases @ Your Story
KidZui Launches New Version of Company’s Award-Winning Kid’s Browser, Featuring New Ways for Children and Parents to Safely Discover and Share the Internet Together | Press Releases @ Your StoryI'm a big fan of KidZui, enough to work with them directly. I was speaking to about 500 adults as part of a Girl Scouts support event in San Diego. I dragged Cliff Boro, KidZui's CEO, along with me to hear what parents are asking. The funny thing was that after I spoke, every single question asked by the adults (all of whom were parents) was answered by directing them to KidZui.
"My daughter wants a Facebook, but is too young. Where can she go to feel like she can have her own community that is age appropriate?" KidZui.
"My son love YouTube, but there are videos I don't want him to see there. Where can he go?" KidZui.
"My twins play games and love searching for new ones, but I worry about what they may find." KidZui
"How can I filter what they are doing online without feeling like a censor?" KidZui
"Is there a kid size search engine that I know is really safe?" KidZui
I made Cliff stand up eventually. He was embarrassed a bit, but saw how much his product touches the needs of families out there.
I'm not paid to endorse them. I only advise them on how to be safe.
This endorsement is free and genuine.
I you have't checked it out, try it. KidZui.com. Just don't let your kids know it's good for them. :-)

Teens are big advocates of their own space. You should knock before entering, never look through their diary or sock drawer without asking, never open their locker without permission and don’t read their email, IMs or their text messages. It’s ironic that while they are adamant about protecting their privacy from adults at home and in school, they are usually less protective of their digital privacy and personal space online and from other teens.
When teens are dating, they want to be open and honest. No secrets! (Not counting the deep dark secrets their boyfriend or girlfriend can’t find out about.) But even in the closest of relationships, teens need to protect their own privacy space, time and activities. They often forget the “me” while being blinded by the “us”.
Privacy has become an old person’s concern. Teens feel they have nothing to hide, and it shows in what they post and share online. Unless they are doing something wrong, they have no reason to worry that others will know their business. Right? Wrong!
Privacy, like the other constitutional rights, needs to be valued and protected.
I will be creating a series of tutorials for teens about their privacy rights and why they matter.
