The internet is a wonderful source of information for all of us. Unfortunately, it has also become a source of great risks and dangers for children of all ages. Below are links to some wonderful new resources for parents on internet safety for your children and teenagers. Most are from the American Academy of Pediatrics. We hope you find them useful.

The following informational handouts are a bit dated, but still contain very helpful information.  The ones in blue will be updated over the next few months (thank you to Karen McGrail for continuing to provide us with these helpful resources).

If you would like to consult with Karen on a nutrition issue, please call the office, (508) 879-5764. (Framingham Pediatric patients and families only please).

Many thanks to Karen McGrail and all of her graduate nutrition students at Framingham State University for creating many of these wonderful handouts and allowing us to post them on our web page!
