    About this ebook

    The Internet can be a dangerous place for a child. Aurora in Cyberworld was created to help parents/grandparents/guardians start and conduct the conversation about those dangers, and the steps that have been taken to protect them, with the child in their lives. The key word is start.

    Because each child is unique, this isn’t a ‘one message fits all’ type of discussion. Aurora in Cyberworld introduces each of the major issues associated with a child’s use of the Internet while leaving the amount of detail that’s disclosed up to the parents.

    If that’s all we did, Aurora in Cyberworld would be well worth a read, but we didn’t stop there. Aurora in Cyberworld, together with its web site of the same name, provides access to a wealth of information concerning each topic addressed in the book so the parent can decide what and how to best communicate it.

    Get your copy today so you’ll be ready when your child comes to you and asks, “Can I use the Internet today?”
