To guard them and guide them past inappropriate Internet content seen on websites
and online social networks, we use and provide state-of-the-art technology. Parents
run the Command Center.
Kids on KidzRocket MUST be registered by a parent
who provides an e-mail address and credit or debit card when registering. Parents
will then receive notifying emails when:
- Your child completes his/her registration.
- Your child wants to connect with any other life form.
- Anyone sends a Buddy Invitation to your child.
- Your child wants to download or upload anything including pictures and
videos.
Your parental approval is REQUIRED before any
further action is taken or communication occurs. There will be no UFOs (Unidentified
Folks or Objects) in your child's orbit. It's win-win for the whole family. Parents
can expand earned partnership privileges to their kids. Pre-teens can learn and
apply acceptable Internet and social networking skills and behavior all while you're
sure they're using social networks that are secure.
For your kids safety, a valid credit card needs to be entered and charged ($1) to
ensure you are authorized to open a "Parent" account with KidzRocket.com.
Your family will have access to KidzRocket.com free and use both the online Social
Networking Website and KidzRocket Web Filter for an entire month. We use the card
number along with your secret password and email address to verify your presence
in the approval process. Too often, what we've seen on other social network sites
that are secure is that kids create an email address for their parents, or memorize
a simple password, and bypass the security. They may not be rocket scientists (yet),
but they're clever.
After the 30-day free period, you will then be charged $5.95 a month unless you
cancel the program. Discounts are offered for longer-term memberships. Make sure
you see our information on site security. We take that extremely seriously too.
Online social networks that cater to kids and families are gaining in numbers. KidzRocket
knows that your kids' safety in Internet activities is your first concern, that's
why it's our first concern too.
Protecting your children on the Internet is your first priority and it's our first
priority too. Here you will find parent safety tips as well as online safety tips
for kids.
Open the lines of communication with your child and start building trust. Here is a Partnership Contract to download that outlines
a set of expectations for online socializing. Read the contract together, discuss
it, and have your child sign it. This contract sets boundaries so kids will know
what's expected of them as they safely explore whole new worlds. It's also a stellar
way to ignite a discussion about the Internet, the pluses and the perils. Remember,
children aren't born knowing about Stranger Danger.
