The tool addresses, inter alia, such virtual topics as dangerous contacts, malicious online content, parental control programs, balance between children’s online and offline activity, and mutual learning of new technologies. The series is presented with the use of a funny, vivid and entertaining formula and the goal is to make parents more familiar with the virtual habits of their children, and thus to provide better understanding. The project also aims at raising the youngsters’ awareness concerning the internet and at assisting the parents’ in becoming friends of their children.
