View my full My Secret Circle review HERE.
I have children of many ages. The problem that we often have is one of the younger children wanting to be like and do the things that the older kid(s) do. One of those problems is internet usage. We allow Tayler, our 16 year old, to spend time on Myspace. I have her passwords and monitor her usage but we don’t check on her every move. The problem comes in when Mackenzie wants to spend time on the internet.
So, when I heard about My Secret Circle, I was really intrigued. Is it possible for my 9 year old to enjoy the same things that my 16 year old does and be safe? Yes! It really is. With My Secret Circle, you must have an access key (this is like a flash drive) that has its own password. If you want to add friends, you can but they need to have a code to be your friend. You are only friends with people you want to be friends with. No one even knows you are online if they aren’t your friend. In addition, there are no ads to see and your child can change her My Secret Circle profile to fit her tastes.
My Secret Circle is so kind that they have offered to give one of you your own My Secret Circle Access Key. If you have a tween girl in your life, this giveaway is for you!

I was pretty sure I had subscribed before, but I did it again, just in case.

My Chicken is a shutterbug (hmmm, I wonder why…LOL) so I really love the photo feature of it. And that only those in her circle can see them.

I like how they have to exchange the Friend Code to be come friends – and they can even do it in person with invitations.

The following feature would entice me to purchase this for my daughter: The invitation system allows your child to print out her Friend Code and create an envelope to trade her Friend Code in person with a real friend of her choice. In order to become “friends,†each girl must own a My Secret Circle Access Key™ and each girl must exchange a Friend Code.
