Our goal at the Chronicle is to help parents raise their children, by giving them tools. We look for websites that can accomplish that goal. By no means are we trying to tell parents how to raise their children but to give them tools to help make it easier.

Being a parent is not an easy thing, there will be mistakes. Our goal is to help parents relieve some of the pressure that comes with being a parent. After all, we are not born as parents it comes with working at it.

This week, we found a site it is called Enough is Enough. We are joining as partners with them, to bring you tips, articles that can make your life easier.

We hope you will enjoy and be educated by the information that we provide you. We hope that you will also visit their site on a regular basis. They do need your support and input to make the site better.

After all, isn’t the goal is to protect our children from harm?

I won’t give out my name, age, address, school, phone number, picture about myself or anyone else without my parent’s permission. This includes chat rooms, instant messages, email, surfing the net and even entering contests or registering for clubs online.

 

I won’t send my picture to anyone online without my parent’s permission.

 

I won’t meet with someone in person that I met on the Internet unless my parent has agreed and will go with me. I realize that people aren’t always who they say they are and that an adult can pretend to be a kid online.

 

If I receive or see something online that seems bad or weird, I won’t respond and will log off and tell my parents right away.

 

I will not open or accept e-mails, enclosures, links, URL’s or other things online from people I don’t know.

 

I won’t give out my password to anyone except my parents not even my friends.

 

I will follow my family’s rules for online safety at home, at school, at the library or at a friend or relative’s house.
