Askforkids.com – Finding Answers for Your Children
Young people are by their nature inquisitive. Usually they will ask the question, and when they receive an answer, they will ask yet another question based on the answer that they just received. Some parents will direct their kids to search the Internet for an answer to their question. However, not all Internet answer sites provide answers that are age appropriate for those under 13 years of age. To help fill that void, the site askforkids.com has been created.
This webpage was made by the same individuals who created the Ask Jeeves website in 1996 which was later called ask.com. This site is set up as a safe place for children to go to and find answers to their questions on a wide variety of topics. The answers are presented in a way that a child between the ages of 6 and 12 years old would understand. Replies are given to a wide range of topics, including science, math, art, and history.
When your child visits askforkids.com they will immediately notice that the site is designed in a way that makes it easier for them to navigate. Children are encouraged to use the mouse in a point and click fashion in order to find the correct response to their questions. There are very few times where it is necessary for them to actually type, because research has shown that children can use a mouse a lot easier than they can type.
Not only are the answers to children’s questions provided in an age-appropriate, and safe way but they’re also provided in connection with pictures. Based on the research that the minds behind askforkids.com have done, it has been shown that children can learn better if they have a photo, or an illustration attached to the information that they are reading. In conclusion this site provides a safe and easy way for children and their parents to find answers to the questions that are on these young minds.
