A study has discovered children under 12 years old are better with technology than their parents.

Research conducted by Tech Will Save Us have found that almost 70 per cent of parents have noticed their brood are a lot more tech-savvy and are faster on all of the devices than they are.

Whilst over 30 per cent of those under 12 people can programme and code using Python, Javascript, SQL or PHP, in comparison to 24 per cent of mothers or fathers who have perfected the skill.

Although children are in the know about a number of topics, parents still worry about how their brood will cope during their first week of school and question whether the youngsters are prepared enough.
