Back to the original topics about how to have a 6 year old do a safe search. One thing to do is teach your child how to research. There are a few tricks that will keep the search a bit more safe.
Use multiple keywords in the search. For example type "Gecko reptile" rather than "Gecko". Seems repetitive but it gives one a different result.
Don't forget to use the more advanced search tools, such as the News page. Or options that let you set reading level on the search engine.
Use Wikapedia as a jumping off point. At the end of every article is supposed to be a references section. A well written page will have many references, and I find it easier to find them sometimes this way.
Search in places where you know you are going to get good content. Such as magazines or newspapers. National Geographic, Science Mag, and Discover Channel web sites. Or use them in your keywords for searching. If you know of sites you like, bookmark them for your child.
I am sure there are other suggestions out there.
