Hi TT,

It sounds like you might be allowing her some freedom to explore as well. If you're concerned about her looking up something in Google and having questionable links come up, you might want to look into some kids' browsers. Firefox has a few that you can download and they're free. What it basically does is create a portal to their kid approved sites. So you don't risk them getting to questionable information. Most of these software also have links to all the kids' online games and they keep records that they will email to you about your child's activity on the internet. (Where they went, how long they were on, etc)

As for online games, DD loves www.pbskids.org which is their free site, but they also have one that you could pay for if you choose. We also have readingeggs and DD loves it way more than starfall, probably because the graphics are so much better and they get to collect eggs as they progress. I've also tried www.ixl.com, but DD doesn't really like it. She finds it boring probably more to do with basic graphics such as starfall. I wish I could find a math program similar to readingeggs. If anyone knows one please let me know!
