Welcome to my website!

This is the home of Growing Up Online, an award wining monthly column that helps parents understand--and guide--the online activities of their children.

Although the Internet has introduced new challenges for parents, it is possible to raise children who are as safe, responsible and ethical online as they are in the real world. For succinct, actionable advice about how to do just that, see some of the columns listed to the right.

For over a decade, I have been writing articles about families, ethics and the Internet. Most recently, I earned my M.A. in Practical Ethics, with an emphasis on Online Ethics. Before that, I was a Contributing Editor at both Family PC and Home PC. My work has been published in dozens of magazines including Reader's Digest, Newsweek, Redbook and the New York Times.

Whether you're a reader, an editor or someone looking for a speaker on Internet ethics, I'm glad you found my website. I am available for article assignments and speaking engagements. And I welcome feedback from readers.
