Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why going directly to a trusted source on the Internet is much better than just browsing around and landing on a site aimed at adults. Parents can also explain why curiosity about the world can enrich our lives (and help us do better in school!). Kids: Did you know that the days of the week come from characters in Norse mythology? Or that Indonesia is made up of more than 13,000 islands? What other fun facts can you find on this site?
