What Parents Need to Know

About GirlsCanDo

Parents need to know that this Web portal for girls has a ton of information to help tweens and teens safely pursue their passions without the interactive aspect of many sites today. There are links to Amazon in several sections that mention books and movies. And, although the founders say they try to confirm every link is to a safe, legitimate site, they do link to many external sites which, in return, link to other sites.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 1.0

    Boring, Lost 1,000 brain cells

    Itc's ok if your girls are trying to be all mature I guess. If you want to punish a boy though I'd make him read enery single word and he wouldn't talk for days! But you might hear him screem in the night becase he's seen to much girly stuff! Best for ages 15+.
