Educating and Entertaining Your Children Online

Find delights on the net that will stimulate your child's mind.

So many of today's children have a far better appreciation of the technology whereby the internet can be used than their parents have. Parents Online is a group that seeks to redress the balance. It maintains that this is not good, for it gives power to the children without enabling the parents to impart impart the responsibility needed. This book is a rich resource written with the aim of giving adults a better understanding of the internet and how to use it safely, with special attention to sites (and methods of getting at those sites) that will entertain children inexpensively, legally and safely, and sites that will educate and stimulate growing minds.

From the moment you open this book you will find that it is a treasure trove, well written and full of good advice and pleanty of ideas.The refreshing approach taken is that the internet can be a positive help to parents, and vastly expand the horizon of a child in terms of health, happiness and education. This is very much the opposite of the desperate cry of many parents of today, who have nightmares about the very real dangers a child might face unaware on the web.

The accompanying CD is not just a gimmicky add on, nor even the helpful searchable reproduction of the text itself. It is a large database that will be of practical use when trawling the net for a site relevant to the practical needs of your child.
