Parents building their skill via Web

The Internet presents new avenues for building parenting skills in China, a recent survey found.

More than 95 percent of parents would prevent their children from surfing the Web, but more than 70 percent of them admitted gaining parenting knowledge from the Internet.

"The Internet is a double-edged sword for children," said Chen Xiaoxia, director of the children's work department at the All-China Women's Federation, which sponsored the survey.
