As many parents know it's difficult to stop kids who want to try new activities on computers in this digital age going on the internet and often hard to monitor them online too.
However, they have been lent a helping hand by Safer Internet Day, being held today (February 8th).
The event, which is organised by European network of Safer Internet Centres, has been going for eight years. It aims to keep young people safe when they're browsing the internet, parents will be relieved to hear!
"For children and young people especially, it is both a celebration of the wonderful opportunities the online world offers, and a reminder that they need to be responsible citizens in the digital world. I am proud to support Safer Internet Day," Neelie Kroes, patron of Safer Internet Day and the European Digital Agenda commissioner, said.
This year's Safer Internet Day is encouraging youngsters to consider their identity online.
In addition, a new website called Getting Connected has recently been launched to assist cash-strapped parents with tips on how to find bargains.
