Welcome to Know IT All for Parents

Hi there, and welcome to Know IT All for Parents, a guide to the internet produced by the children’s internet charity Childnet International.

Most children reckon that they ‘Know IT All’ when it comes to computers and mobile phones, and keeping up with their use of technology is really challenging!

it can be hard to keep an eye on what your children are looking at online, to say nothing about what they are putting on their websites, who they are chatting with, and what they are downloading.

But remember, right from the start, that just because your children may be more confident in using the internet that doesn’t mean they can do without your involvement, advice and support.

There are special activities and quizzes in this guide for you to do with your children, and they’ll give you an opportunity to learn and talk about the internet together.

There are lots of ways in which the internet can make a positive difference to you and your family. You can hunt out bargains, shop online, find all sorts of information and get in touch with friends and family around the world. You can play games, listen to music and of course you can help your children with their homework.

This Childnet guide will help you find really good websites for you and your family so you can all enjoy the good things about being online.

If you are new to computers don’t worry—there’s a special section which will show you how to use the different parts of the computer like the mouse and how to get started on the internet. And if you are still not sure how to do something, why not ask your children to show you!

We hope you get a lot out of this guide and that it helps you start to feel that you too ‘Know IT All’ and can enjoy all the benefits of the internet with your family.
