\n<\/p>\n

Banish the boredom with fun kids activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What To Do With The Kids<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s a glorious Saturday morning, and your children are on the computer. You want to pull them offline, but you’re not sure where to pull them\u00a0to<\/em>.\u00a0What To Do With The Kids is a really useful resource that lists a huge range of activities, from holidays to days out, and from special events to stay-at-home pastimes. Whatever it is you want, they’ve got you covered.\u00a0They also offer information about discounts and vouchers, plus competitions where you can win tickets to days out.<\/p>\n

Help with tricky homework<\/strong><\/h2>\n

MyTutor.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you children are young, homework help is a piece of cake. But there may come a time when you’re just not sure what spectrum patterns have to say about the mass and consequent predicted lifetime of a star.<\/p>\n

At this point\u00a0it might be time to outsource the homework help<\/a>, so that you can ensure your children are getting high quality assistance (and relieve the pressure to brush up on your knowledge of neutron stars.)\u00a0Here at\u00a0MyTutor, we have hundreds of skilled tutors that you can connect with, without leaving the house.<\/p>\n

Answers to teenage troubles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Student Room<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Once your children are old enough to seek advice on those adult-essentials such as tax, property rentals and car insurance, it\u2019s mum and dad\u2019s time to shine. However, while your children are still, well, children, the administrative issues they have to deal with may be further outside of your circle of experience. Problems like navigating the UCAS process, understanding exam syllabuses and knowing how best to approach job and internship applications – these may be as alien to you as they are to your kids.<\/p>\n

Luckily, The Student Room<\/a> is an incredible resource to help you with pretty much any problem you might face as a student. It hosts articles, links and message boards so you can access official information as well as see what other students are saying. As an added bonus, they also offer advice on the more pastoral side of guidance, such as health and relationships, so if your child blocks every attempt at that<\/em> conversation with \u201cGod, Muuuuuum. You\u2019re so <\/em>embarrassing!\u201d, you can be sure that they\u2019re still getting the information they need.<\/p>\n

Online safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vodafone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopefully you\u2019ll be able to keep tabs on your child until the day you\u2019re confident that they can fly the nest safely on their own. However, kids are spending increasing amounts of time in an environment where it\u2019s nearly impossible for parents to keep watch: online.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing to note about teenagers and the internet, it\u2019s that where there\u2019s a will, there\u2019s a way. Any teacher will tell you that blanket filters blocking social media sites on school computers fall like dominoes, as desperate school kids rival top hackers in finding proxy after proxy. But there’s still ways for parents to keep children safe. A great resource for web safety is the digital parenting advice from Vodafone<\/a>, which offers some great advice on more practical and sensitive methods you can use to approach this issue with your children. You can make sure they stay safe from when they\u2019re first able to use a computer, all the way up to the teenage years, when they are more likely to have the judgement to decide what\u2019s best for themselves.<\/p>\n
