The Internet is an amazing place for information -- both good and bad. As a parent, you probably try your best to keep your kids from finding the bad information. We know how hard that can be. [See accompanying story, On the Internet, Trouble for Kids Is One Click Away.]

For this contest, we want to know your best tips for managing your child’s Internet use. Do you block questionable content? Do you allow your kids to use the Internet only at certain times of the day? Do you check the web browser’s history after your kids log off? Send us your story about what works for you, or what doesn’t work, and what you’ve learned from your efforts.

If we select your entry, we’ll send you a free iPod touch! Don’t worry about whether you know how to write. Our editors will check for grammar and tighten the writing. The most important thing is to "write from the heart" and not worry about style.
