With all the hype and excitement around Social Networking, it’s never been easier to socialize with friends no matter where they (or you) are. All you need is an Internet connection, a social networking profile, and you’re good to go!
As young kids now form a growing Internet user market segment, it’s only natural that they too should be able to have virtual fun and communication with friends and family.
After they’ve had their playdates, parties and fun at school, kids are now able to also socialize on the web through KIDO’Z, and parents are able to build these social networks for their kids!
KIDO’Z MAIL and KIDO’Z PLACES are exciting new social networking tools that have been added to the KIDO’Z Web Operating System, to allow kids to safely and easily make, communicate, and interact with friends online. Kids can interact only with their parental-approved KIDO’Z FRIENDS, which ensures maximum online safety and peace-of mind for parents.
Making friends in KIDO’Z is simple, safe and so much fun!
You as the parent are fully in control of your kids’ KIDO’Z social life. New friends can only be added to your kid’s account by you through the secure Parental Control Account. You can send new friendship requests for your kid, and can also accept or reject any incoming friendship requests on behalf of your kid.
Friendship requests can be sent to friends and family including KIDO’Z users, non-KIDO’Z users, and even adult family members or friends.
Simply choose to Add New Friend, fill in the required details, and an email will be sent to the requested friend for approval.

Despite all its enormous benefits, the Internet does pose a security and privacy threat to all kids of all ages if they are not protected and are not able to surf in a safe environment. In addition to ensuring that kids use only kid-safe internet software, the only way to become fully informed of kids’ online activity and preferences, is for parents to make use of monitoring tools.
According to a survey conducted by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Cox Communications, approximately only 50% of the parents surveyed were monitoring their children’s internet activity on a daily or weekly basis. The remaining 50% of the parents claimed not to have or were unsure if they have monitoring software on their computer(s).
With KIDO’Z, kids are not only protected in a kid-friendly, secure environment, but parents are also able to track their kids’ Internet usage with KIDO’Z STATISTICS.
KIDO’Z STATISTICS gives parents detailed usage reports of their child’s KIDO’Z usage.
These usage reports show:
Daily Time Spent on KIDO’Z
Favorite Tools
Usage Pattern per day

KIDO’Z STATISTICS is easily accessed by parents through the KIDO’Z Parental Control Account by clicking on the STATISTICS tab, and is available only to KIDO’Z PLUS users.
Here is a quick video tutorial showing How to Access KIDO’Z STATISTICS:
To have full access to this useful tool, you can easily become a KIDO’Z PLUS user by upgrading through your Parental Control Account.
