My six year old daughter is very intrigued and curious about the internet. She knows and understands that having access to the internet is something different from just using a PC. I would like to introduce her to the net, but fear exposure to unnecessary and adult sites. How can I restrict her access to specific sites of her interest?

@Joanna, Welcome , Although this is a little bit out of our area of expertise I will try to assist you.

There are quite a few parental control programs on the internet and a search could reveal one that you are happy with, the only one I am aware of, as I live in Australia is "net nanny" I am sure there are many more to pick from.

Some government and local council groups also offer free programs, I am unsure if there are any in your area but it would not hurt to check.

The next question that only you can answer, is whether a six year old is ready for the internet, without a parent being online with her ?

Maybe some of our members who are parents could advise on this?

Personally I feel it is too early, but I am not really in a position to advise on this.
So you will have to take this into consideration.
