Minneapolis, MN, February 23, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Small Business Mavericks, a division of Melberg Marketing, today announced the latest article in its series of free articles: Raising Internet-Savvy Kids in Our Always-On World.

"I remember being a kid and having my mom worry about whether Happy Days was too racy for me," says author Caroline Melberg. "That’s almost comic compared to the challenges parents face today!"

Melberg goes on to discuss different modes of communication kids are exposed to today, including Web surfing, email, instant messaging, chat rooms, blogging, and podcasting; goes on to cite a recent Common Sense Media study on parent concerns, and finally offers tips on keeping your kids educated and safe.

"As excited we are about the potential the Internet holds for small businesses, we recognize the inherent risks the Internet poses for kids," says Melberg. "We believe by being educated and informed about all the Internet has to offer we'll be able to allow kids to take advantage of the tremendous learning opportunities available, and still be safe surfers online." For more information about keeping your kids safe online, Melberg suggests visiting www.CommonSenseMedia.com.
