Amazon.co.uk 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. --
