The internet opens a whole new world to explore with unlimited boundaries reachable by anyone including our children. A parent's involvement and monitoring of children can limit the unnecessary involvement that our children may get into while on the internet. The amount of teenagers that use the internet has grown 24% in the last four years and most are between the ages of 12 to 17 (Hitlin 2005). A survey done on 1100 teens and their parents showed that 65% of the parents and 64% of the teens did things online that they wouldn't want their parents knowing they did (Lenhart 2005). So just these two facts can show that we as parents need to be more involved in when and how we let out children surf the internet. We as parents know how easy it is to access anything on the internet for us, so our children as well can access these same things if we don't monitor them more closely.
