Customer Reviews

Good info if they are not teaching internet safety in your school

Very informative and smart book. A lot of the topics had already been covered by my daughter's computer class at school, but I know not all schools are covering these Internet Safety topics.

A Smart Girls Guide to the Internet

I purchased this book for my granddaughter's 12th birthday and she was delighted with it and felt that it helped her become a smarter user of the internet.

Great advice for girls...without having to hear it from Mom & Dad

You're a parent and you want to keep your kids safe online...but you don't want to scare the daylights out of them. A Smart Girl's Guide is a great place to start, helping your daughter(s) understand more about how the Internet and technology work, why it's not smart to share personal information online, and how to get the most out of the Internet and technology. This book will help protect your kids without terrifying them about Internet predators (we parents worry about that enough) and gives girls smart, practical ways to handle themselves in situations ranging from how to cope with a cyber-bully to how to use the Internet for homework and research. Best of all, it reinforces the bond between child and parent, and gives parents a way to talk about these important issues in a way girls will respond and relate to.

Terrific!

Just what I needed for my 'tweens'. It's filled with useful information that even I can use. Great for children of all internet ages. Thanks American Girl for another fine book. You chose a great subject.
