Books and More for Children and Teens

The Christian Science Monitor has an article on teens and blogging: Teens: It's a diary. Adults: It's unsafe.

It contains some interesting perspectives on the dangers of blogging for teens as well as some impressive statistics:

"Of the world's approximately 38 million "blogs," or self-published Web pages, 52.8 percent belong to those age 19 or younger, according to survey data from the Perseus Co., a maker of Web-surveying software. By year's end, the firm expects the total number of blogs on the Web to reach 53.4 million.

Meanwhile, Perseus says the typical blogger continues to be a teenage girl who uses the medium primarily to communicate with five to 10 friends."
