id="more-1801"></span>The best time to create a profile in social network is when children are 16-18 years old, 36% of parents suppose. Although if your teenager is a little bit younger, 13 or older, it also might be OK (30% of parents think so).</p><p>Childhood is a magic time when kids play games and learn new skills. Kids don’t need to “escape” the real world like some adults do using social media. For kids Internet should be rather a place for learning and smart playing than for wasting time!</p><p>Driving Kids joins parents who prefer children websites with kids’ online games to social media. Pre-school and early school kids should be provided with special playful and children-friendly services like websites with educational kids’ games where it’s easy and safe to play and to meet new friends.</p><p>That’s why children who play our online kids’ game are invited to play free educational games and to communicate online in safe kids’ chat. Boys and girls who can play online games but not yet familiar with typing are welcomed to exchange small icons with smiles and useful signs.</p><p>Playing in Driving Kids, children don&#8217;t have to upload their real photos or enter certain personal data like full address, phone number. Kids have many interesting things to do instead of sharing private info or talking about something what touches the adults only!</p><p>And we would like parents don’t leave kids online alone. Even the best free online games for kids and the best websites with kids’ games will never take place of caring parents and teachers: all we agree with this, but do we always remember about it?</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.drivingkids.com/vehicle-upgrade/kids-using-social-media-what-do-parents-think.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Help children learn the world?

id="more-1791"></span></p><p>Special-needs kids were invited to get “<em>an up-close look</em>” at the big and incredible vehicles: “<em>members of the Pelham Police Department, Pelham Fire Department and Shelby County Schools system to bring their vehicles to show off to the kids</em>,” as <em>The Shelby County Courier</em> <a
href="http://www.shelbycountyreporter.com/news/2010/may/05/away-we-go-arc-children-learn-about-big-vehicles/" target="_blank">reported</a>.</p><p>To explore police cars, fire trucks and school buses, isn’t it a dream for literally every kid in the world? Didn’t you dream about the same thing when you were a child? Imagine how it is — to be the driver who rushes to help people in the cars which attract all eyes. It’s more than simply ‘cool’! It expands kids’ outlook and shows them the part of social reality recently hidden. Among other things, it may help children with their self-determination and further occupation!</p><p>Pursuing the same aims, we invite all children of all ages to join our educative online games with cars and other vehicles! Let your child be a school bus driver playing games like “<a
href="http://www.drivingkids.com/mini-games/bus-stations.html" target="_blank">Bus Stations</a>” and “<a
href="http://www.drivingkids.com/mini-games/school-bus.html" target="_blank">School Bus</a>”, or a taxi driver in challenging “<a
href="http://www.drivingkids.com/mini-games/taxi-racing.html" target="_blank">Taxi Racing</a>” and “<a
href="http://www.drivingkids.com/mini-games/road.html" target="_blank">Quick Road</a>”, or a pilot in such educational online games for kids as “<a
href="http://www.drivingkids.com/mini-games/helicopter-pilot.html" target="_blank">Helicopter Pilot</a>” and “<a
href="http://www.drivingkids.com/mini-games/sun-shower.html" target="_blank">Sun Shower</a>”! Playing cool games children learn and improve important skills and abilities: good memory, strong attention, well-developed hands’ motility…</p><p>Kids’ education doesn’t end at the school desk. Help your child to discover new sides of our beautiful world! It’s not necessary to turn over the globe to do this: sometimes it’s enough to turn on the computer and visit an educational website for kids <img
