What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about why it's important for young kids to have a safe place to call home on the web. Kids may not completely understand why they shouldn't search for anything they want on google. Talk about the benefits of organizing information into categories that little kids are interested in.

KOLJunior makes the web navigable for kids and is a fine stepping stone to becoming Internet savvy. While there is a strong emphasis on entertainment, there's certainly lots of quality music, books, and educational games to elevate the site's overall offerings. Parents may want to make some rules about whether little kids can visit this site's older sibling, KOL.com, because that site has lots of celebrity news, streaming radio, as well as the ability to send email.
