With the advent of sites such as imbee.com and Industrious Kid your kids can now surf and network online without the fear and danger of most social networking sites. Both imbee.com and industrious Kid were created by the recently deceased Jeanette Symons. Mrs. Symons created the site to give her own son, then 7, also recently deceased, a place to network while staying safe online.

Imbee.com is for kids from 7-14 who want to belong to a social networking site and meet friends online. National Geographic has even signed on as an educational partner, so you know it must be good for kids too. They're not the only educational tool on the site either. Your kids will learn while they network.

Before kids can join imbee.com they must get permission from their parents. Parents will have to approve their account through email and can set up blocks on certain content if they don't want their kids doing or seeing something on the site for some reason. Daily reports are sent to parents whenever there is activity on the site so you'll always know what your kids are up to.
