What Parents Need to Know

About ABC Kids

Parents need to know that although there's no advertising on the site, the featured games promote TV characters and shows on ABC Kids. Most of the games will actually teach your kid a thing or two about hand-eye coordination, concentration, and detective work. If you click on one of the tabs that take you to Disney's main page, you'll get a message saying you're heading to a place with ads. One thing to keep in mind: Disney.com has chat rooms (they're safe), full-length TV episodes (they can contain some scary, cartoon-like violence), behind-the-scenes movie clips, music videos, and a chance to "buy" other things with earned points.

    ABC kids

    This website is so much different then the regular ABC channel. It's really fun and I chalenged my dad to play one of the games. He didn't wanna look at the directions and he quit after the first 30 seconds. It was a game about business and he acully didn't get it!
