November 26, 2008 by Linsey · Leave a Comment
Q: I’m sick of all the refrigerator clutter at our house! How can I use Glubble to cut back and get everyone on the same page?
Being a bit of a clutter bug myself, I can understand where you’re coming from! Between the permission slips, recipes, and little yellow sticky notes, the front side of the fridge can get quite a workout…
Glubble’s Family Wall is a perfect way to streamline some of the day-to-day communication that busy families rely on to keep things together. You can message one another and post important appointments for ballet and soccer, reminders on the weather, or a special request to pick up dinner from the store! It all comes together in one convenient place for everyone to see – through Glubble’s Online Activity Center.

Ask Linsey: Question from Edith (United Kingdom)

Q: How do I determine what is an acceptable length of time for my child to be on the computer? What is a good method to enforce this time limit with my child? (Edith, United Kingdom)
Being mindful of the time that your child spends on the computer is a great way to ensure that they develop a healthy attitude towards computer use. Children of all ages can benefit from being given an appropriate limit to their screen time.
Get Involved…It’s a Family Thing!

At Glubble we know one thing for certain: only parents know which Web sites are appropriate for their children. And suitable content differs for each child, and at different ages. Just as parents choose which books to read to their children—and approve which TV shows and movies they’re allowed to watch—the same parental oversight applies to the Internet.
That’s why Glubble lets parents pre-approve the Web sites their children visit, and even approve different sites for children of different ages. And since Glubble is safe, families no longer have to worry and they can now focus on FUN.
Parents Talk To Their Kids About Safety Online, Don’t Always Follow Up
HighlightsParents.com Poll Shows Parents Sometimes Give Unfettered Access
November 13, 2008 (Columbus, OH) – Kids are using the Internet on their own, according to a poll conducted by Highlights for Children, the best-read children’s magazine in North America, and 
Glubble.com, the leading online activity center for families with children under 12. And while most of the families surveyed have held conversations about Internet safety, parents are still concerned.
Just to share; Our Family Page
November 11, 2008 by Bartel · Leave a Comment
A great part of our family’s social life centers around a large 10 ft. wooden table in the middle of our house. Because of its size it basically offers all we need: space to work, eat, read, draw, play games, build LEGO castles or sit with friends to enjoy a good glass of wine.
We’re so used to gather around this old French table that in time it has become the diary of our life. Just browse the notes, drawings, books, photos, toys or other artifacts 
and you’ll get a pretty good picture of what is going on within my family.
Ask Linsey: Question from Beth (Chicago)

Q: I love all the websites suggested to my family in the Glubble library collections, but some aren’t age-appropriate for my youngest children? How can I be sure that they aren’t accessing websites intended for the older siblings? (Beth in Chicago)
Great news! Glubble now allows parents to customize the collection of websites for each user! That means that your children can have a completely different set of websites available to each of them, based on their age and computer-literacy level.
Internet safety for your family

Almost every teenager or younger child has 24/7 access to the Internet. It’s important for parents to support children discover the web.
With Glubble you can create your own private Family Page. We provide parents convenient tools to pre-approve thousands of kids safe and fun web sites for their children. Children can access these parental approved sites via their own personal Kids Page. But we also have parent-friendly tools to monitor your children’s online activities and relate to their current interests.
Just as we offer thousands of Web sites – just for kids – to play, learn and discover, the Family Page is designed to bring your entire family together. It provides great features to upload and share your family photos, to post family events and it has a Family message wall. All family members, including small children, can send each other fun messages.
Glubble brings fun and joy in your family’s online and offline life!
