366870 2005-06-24 23:49:00 In an effort to educate my children in the modern age I thought I'd find a safe forum they could join. But Google just brings up forae which are for adults/teachers about children. Any ideas?

Indeed any suggestions for sites for children are welcome. I find my 10 and 11 yr olds know game sites from their friends but I'm looking for a bit more stimulation.

Cheers
Winston

366872 2005-06-25 02:43:00 Let your children join their dad's forum. We will treat them real good :D . Of course, Metla must watch his mouth (rather, thought) and the dad must behave sensibly as well :D .

Cheers :)

Give them BOOKS. Take them to a MUSEUM. :badpc:

I have seen kids become so addicted to these things that nothing else ever got done.

between presumed adults Metla and Elephant, I was going to suggest that this Forum might be childish enough for your children. However, not knowing their ages, if they have left Primary School it would be beneath them....

Thanks everyone. Maybe Graham is right.

Happily we have about 400 books plus 2 sets of encyclopedias plus about 70 childrens books. And plenty of library fines. :D The museum is well known also.

Indeed the best stimulation is through discussion and introduction to new ideas. However I simply thought that if the children are going to grow up with computers, there are better skills to learn than games. There is a world of info only a keystroke away.
