Synopsis
Every opinion poll about the internet shows that people think it's hard to navigate, insecure and awash with pornography. This unique book is the indispensable companion for parents who want their children to get the most from the net without encountering its darker side. Beginning with the basics such as selecting the right internet service-provider, using e-mail and search-engines, the book goes on to show how parents can help their children to use the internet constructively. It identifies the best educational sites from homework assistance to revision tools and wonderful on-line reference works. It also provides invaluable guidance to making friends on the internet, e-mailing photographs to relatives and friends overseas, building family websites and locating child-friendly chatrooms. It also shows parents how to exclude on-line pornography from their home. Finally , A Parents' Guide to the Internet lists sites where parents can get advice and make contact with others. These include sites for single parents, first-time parents, those bringing up children with learning difficulties or disabilities and people wishing to adopt or foster. This book is essential reading for any parent who has recognised the importance of the internet and the need to use it effectively.
