All the kids networks and toy makers have websites that are geared towards kids. Most of them require a parent's email address, and some of them will email you to let you know that your child has signed up to their website. I will talk to my 8 year old when he gets home from school and give you individual websites if you need them.

I would appreciate it that very much.

My daughter is getting tired of barbie, and her older step-sister has exposed her to an interactive site for older girls that I won't allow. I've set that boundary with her, but would like to give her some other suggestions that are more age-appropriate for her.

My son told me that his favorites (right now) are nick.com, cartoonnetwork.com, disney.com, and netsmartkids.org (this one has a section for parents as well). I hope your daughter will like these as well.

Sorry I hit add before I wrote anything else. My daughter is in girl scouts and this is the site for the girls, with games, quizzes, etc.

WEBKINZ........ they are really great and there designed so the kids cant get in any trouble on the website....all my kids play and they love them.........they are interactive pets that you use online.........good luck

Club Penguin, my daughter has had a blast on there. You can play for free, but to do a lot of the activities you have to join (5 dollars a month I think) Also neopets has a website. And there is Webkins, but you gotta buy one to have any fun.

Neopets is pretty careful about screening messages and they have a setting where no one can contact your child unless it's a 'friend.' I set my child's up so he just doesn't use messages at all except from my account and his sister's.

Puzzles. Doesn't link anywhere much.

My advice is PLAY WITH HER. I mean its great you just want to run but as a Computer sys admin my husband does that same work as me... we know once on a site they may not stay there. The computer is Linux based but Windows also has parental controls.

They cost $50 and are well worth it. Explain to her the NO ONE on the net is safe.

God, I am still trying to explain this to adults when they ask why I use a cartoon as my avatar.

My daughter plays Nintendogs cats etc on her DS her friend has a DS also and there pets when she comes over or she goes there interact nicely. PSP Handheld has WIFI games that are also free to connect and they can't chat. Its safe.

Like I said those are all options. i don't think the net is for kids. Way back in 1991 when I started on the net we had news groups. alt.sex.whatever you just typed and evetually you got what you wanted. I was 15. I was doing it as my parents just did not care so long as I was quiet.

Again Spend time with the kids don't let the computer do it for you.

you can go buy these webkin stuffed animals at walgreens, their pretty popular anywhere and you save the tag thats on them. The kids then have to log in on the computer and they have their animal on the computer they feed take care of and meet other friends. Look out my kids are addicted. Its hard to get them off. Club penguin is ok. you can do that in ultimate safe chat. I have a 7, 8 and 11 yr old. Hope this helps.

There is a great site where you respond to vocabulary questions and earn 20 grains of rice for the poor with every right answer.

Hi! I think that Club Penguin is a safe website that does monitor the activities. It's affiliated with disney and you can block chatting. My daughters and I play together. I have even created one for myself and have 2 computers in the house so we play together. I also think webkins.com is also good. You do have to purchase the animal though.

My daughter loves Club Penguin, free of course, and also Idressup.com
