Description:
Steve Bennett combines his experience as a best-selling parenting author and a home-computing guru to present a compelling argument for moderation and parental involvement when kids enter cyberspace. He presents a thoughtful examination of how young people experience the digital world as they explore chat rooms, online communities, and games.

Bennett also provides dozens of concrete, simple ideas parents can use to guide them: language games, in which kids create a code from keyboard characters that the family has to decode in seconds; chain stories, in which family members add a character, new chapter, or plot twist to their favorite children's classic; or "bright ideas", where kids use graphic programs to represent ideas.
Full of inspiration, The Plugged-In Parent helps parents help kids to make the most constructive use of today's exciting technology.
