I have to admit that I can be a bit of a thrill seeker but there is no way I’m letting my nieces and nephews take chances with their online safety. That’s one of the reasons we reached out to blogger and mom Monica Villa of The Online Mom to share her tips, tricks and suggestions for keeping kids safe online.
Her dynamic content spans from discussions on the average age for children to get cell phones to how to shop safely online.
