Helping kids surf the Internet safely

As school ends, more children will be surfing the Web. Parents may want to set some guidelines about Internet usage. For help, visit www.childrenspartnership.org and read the "Parents' Guide," which includes these suggestions:

*Keep track of online time by using an alarm clock or timer.

*Teach kids to tell you if they run into something scary.

*Tell kids not to give out personal information, or order products, without permission.

*Discuss issues like privacy and anonymity in cyberspace.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
