st: prob>chi2 in probit results

Hello,
Please pardon me if my question looks too silly.
I run probit in stata 12 and get following results:
. probit pgood age_kid sex gender parent white totalkid Ed AGE
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -148.89225
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -145.96563
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -145.9561
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -145.9561
Probit regression Number of obs = 252
LR chi2(8)
= 5.87
Prob > chi2
= 0.6615
Log likelihood = -145.9561 Pseudo R2 = 0.0197
Is it correct that as my results showed Prob > chi2 = 0.6615
which is greater than 0.05, then my model is not a good model and I
could not really use it?
Is it correct that in order to have a acceptable model, I have to get
prob>chi2 <0.1? if I got a much bigger number, can I use the model?
How should I interpret it?
Is there any other command that I can use to test my probit model is
usable or not?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion that you could give.
Best,
Nola
