This guide provides an introduction for parents on using the medium as well as it offers useful tips for a sensible and safe use of the internet by their children. Beside a short illustration of all important internet services like www, email, chat and search engines, the guide informs about sources of risks children might come across, e.g. spam email and so-called dialers. Furthermore, parents get useful advice how they can contribute to safe surfing of their children, e.g. by using filter software.
