Do any of you have kids that are into Webknz? David and a bunch of his

have started collecting them. Also, shining stars, pretty much the same thing as webkinz. Even I have played on the site to

him get more points.

My kids have started to get into them, but it concerns me a little bit about spending too much time online. Plus, if they accidentally type something into the Google bar or soemthing, I'm afraid what image might come up? Are there any safeguard things you can put on your computer that will only allow the kids to access pre-approved websites?

I'v e put webkinz into our favorites so the we won't have to type it in each time. The site itself is very heavily monitered. I've talked to a man that is a distributer for the animals and he has done some research before startingt o sell the line. I guess that in the chat room, you get 3 strikes and then you are blocked, the site is considered to be predater proff. As far as spending too much time online, try setting a timer, whn it goes off, it is time to log off.
There is different software ot there to install but I can't think of the names of them now. Try going into the control panel of your computer and looking at settings.
