Email for Kids

     Do you remember your very first email address? Sure ya do! How can you forget when it was something along the lines of "2cute4u[@]yahoo[.]com" or "rebelgrl13[@]gmail[.]com?" Oh no, no one forgets those email addresses! Mine, for the longest time, was colebabyz (followed by a series of numbers), a Yahoo account that my oldest sister's boyfriend at the time, a long-haired guy named Jerry, helped me set up. He and my sister met at college, and I wanted an email address so I could email them. It was so cool and made me feel like a grownup; every few days my mom or dad would help me log on, and I almost always had an email from my sister!

     Unfortunately as we advance in technology, we are becoming more and more aware and cautious of what we're doing online. Parents are especially cautious of their adolescent and preteen children being on the Internet and for good reason! But I was recently introduced to a company who provides a safe, secure, and fun way for kids to have their first real email account: Kids Email!

     I set up my own account with ease then made an account for Vaught. I loved the detailed settings that I could put in place for him! Obviously at six months old, he doesn't really need an email account, but I began thinking of my two young nieces, school-aged cousins, and the children I babysat growing up-- Kids Email would be perfect for them! How cool it is that you can all kinds of preferences to your child's email account! I opted to be sent a copy of the emails sent and received, filter out "bad words," and only allow his email account to receive email from the email addresses programmed into his account. There are so many useful settings you can apply to the account to make sure that your child is safe while accessing his or her email. I even noticed that there is an option to ground them from using the email... But I hope I don't have to use that one for a long time!

     Kids Email can be used on iOS, Android, and Web platforms and is super affordable, as low as $2.99 per month for up to six email accounts! Not sure if you want to commit? No worries--sign up for a free 30 day trial!

     Would I recommend Kids Email as an email service for your children? Absolutely! Whether they're gearing up for elementary school or high school, Kids Email offers something for everyone! As a mom, blogger, and brand influencer, I highly recommend Kids Email to ensure the safest experience for your little ones online!
