Parenting Resources for tweens

[Anonymous]

This weekend we found out that our not quite 9 YO did a search for "Naked People" on his tablet.

As we move to this next phase of parenting - I am really lost. Are there books / classes / resources you recommend?

I could've written this. I also have an almost 9 year old who typed the exact same words on the iPad. I'll be following this thread closely!

Did your 9 YO deny it and say that the tablet was hacked

That is funny! No, DS can't think that fast.

I can see every single site that is opened and the number of times it's been loaded in a week, set a limit on the number of hours allowed per day and when, what types of sites are allowed, allow/block specific sites that may not be included/excluded based on the general filter, and my password is the override in case they need more time or to use the computer outside of allowed hours. While I don't usually censor, choosing instead to talk with the kids about what they are viewing, we have discussed legal/illegal and why, and I use the list of what they viewed as a starting point to talk about what they looked at last week and whether the amount of screen time was too much or too little.

Does this work for a portfolio of technology? We have a desktop, kindle fire, some iphones, another tablet and a 2nd generation ipad (my husband loves his technology toys)
