Customer Reviews

Great Book!
Extremely informative! Donna Bast really knows her stuff. She should consider hosting her own television series on the topic.

Best parenting internet advise
What a great book for parents. Fantastic ideas on how to keep your kids safe on the internet. Learn how to protect yourself and your kids from the dangers that are on the internet every day. Thanks Donna for a great book that was well needed.

Intro level book
This book is ok if you really don't know anything about computers, internet, or social networking. I would not have purchased this book had I known how basic it was. It didn't really provide me with any new information on how to better get a handle on what my kids are up to on the net.
