I am very much worried about my 8 year old daughter who already know how to use the computer, that while exploring the internet, she may be exposed to inappropriate materials that are meant for adult users only. How can I safeguard her in that effect? Are you experiencing the same thing with your own children? How can we help and teach them how to use the internet safely?

Make sure that your child should be safe from the things should not they receive when playing Internet. Today's kids can already dialogue with strangers via the Internet. Well through chat or instant messaging such as Yahoo Messenger. You can tell a child not to reveal the identity of an honest when chatting.
Communicate regularly (not just once) with your child. Dialogue in the family room. Every now and then help them with their homework. Once you get off them, so they can vent to all the negative things that exist on the internet.
Do not place the computer in your child's room. Place in a public area like the family room. That way you can control if they are
Internet play. Many parents think, has helped her son by giving Types of computers and internet connections. Whereas the expected impact could have been reversed.

Please make sure that you are always with her every time she opens a computer. Find sites that are good and educative for kids. Or maybe you can find information about special software to protect kids from adults materials, from opening sites that are not appropriate for kids. Put computer in family room. My 11- year-old nephew has his own laptop, and his mom (my sister) puts his laptop in family room, near out TV and dining room, so she can monitor what her kid is doing, especially when he opens facebook etc.

Oh, is that so?
You should not allow her view any bad sites. Because this bad sites or negative sites can poison the mind of its viewers. So you should be aware of that. Although I am still single. I hope that i Helped you.. I think that there are some techniques on how to block bad sites so that it will not be seen by children..
I hope i helped. God bless!
