Summary

Families blend together for a variety of reasons. Widowed or divorced parents choose to remarry. An ailing or elderly relative can no longer live alone and moves in with his son’s family. A family chooses to adopt a child. Economic circumstances force family members to combine households. Regardless of why it happens, creating a blended family is a process of transition that takes time, patience, humor, compassion, and a whole lot of conversation. In Growing Into a Family, author Cynthia Geisen guides children and the caring adults in their lives through the many questions and mixed feelings that blended families face. In the end, it is love, compassion, persistence, and a large dollop of humor that are really the tools that will help young readers find peace and joy in their family’s new realities.

In her second adventure in Cyberland with her friend Webby, Nettie is shocked to discover Charlie the dog pretending to be her after she had left her tablet device unlocked. 
Young children may not be able to read words or design passwords, but they can begin to understand the importance of keeping things safe.  Parents and carers will also be opening a discussion about privacy which is important to small children outside of their use of computers and devices. Using the story of Nettie and Webby, adults can continue their introduction to cybersecurity that they began in the first books.  For young children it is not only about getting them to behave securely online, it is also about establishing a way children and adults can talk about cyber security as they grow.  In this book the start the conversation is around the importance of locking screens on devices, but where it goes from there is up to you. Academic research has shown the importance of planting the seeds of understanding of password safety with children as soon as possible so they develop good safe cyber habits. 
Further discussion at the end of the book points towards a basic understanding about designing secure password security and the importance of keeping passwords private.
