Synopsis

This guide removes barriers between caring parents and the mass of useful Internet information. Whether you're dealing with the tetchy teens or the terrible twos, potty training or pregnancy, this book provides you with a quick route to what you want from the best sites on the Web. Most of us have experienced the frustrations and time-consuming trials of World Wide Web navigation with search engines throwing countless sites at us that either aren't there, don't make sense or simply don't fit the bill. All the sites featured in the first edition have been revisited and re-rated as necessary, and new websites have been added to bring this edition up-to-date.

About this title

Review

Few parents would raise their children without seeking advice from professionals or books at some point in their child's development. Today, the Internet is another resource from which to find help and advice on parenting and childcare, but finding the right information is a daunting task especially those new to surfing the Web. Many parents have the time or inclination to search out the information themselves and will welcome a concise guide such as the Good Web Guide for Parents. Here, the author and researchers have done the hard work for you and put together a very readable and helpful guide to the Web and where to find the right parenting information. UK-specific, Good Web Guide for Parents includes chapters on pregnancy, education and safe surfing as well as many other areas and each one lists recommended sites. Each site has its own rating and description. In no way is the book an exhaustive guide but it does serve as an excellent introduction to what's available and also acts as a technical primer on the Internet itself for those parents new to it. The book comes with a free CD ROM with free Internet access software and hot links to all the sites mentioned in the book. --Paul Fisher
