Children now spend a lot of time on the Internet - this is one of the indicators of the modern information society. But children need to be brought up and controlled, because virtual problems often affect life in the real world. In the virtual world, their own orders and idols, their dangers - adults simply must know about them.
Do you know these rules, procedures, youth idols and how to protect your child from dangers and not lose him on social networks? This guide is intended to help parents ensure that their children use mobile devices and the Internet safely.
If you do not maintain a dialogue with the child, including on aspects of virtual life, this will lead to the formation of inadequate relationships in the family, and then the child will find himself in depressed communities of mental pain, in which he will begin to share his problems with the whole world.
But then, the child is turned into a puppet, they begin to manipulate him, and they involve him in anything: from pedophilia to criminal and terrorist communities.
Just think about it. Millions of children in groups of heartache and sadness. Hundreds of thousands of children are playing death. Almost all schoolchildren are subject to online harassment. Half of teenage girls strive to lose weight up to 30 kg. And now absolutely all children are exposed to the negative influence of social networks.
Many adults got acquainted with mobile devices already at a conscious age, and the child was holding a smartphone in his hands almost from infancy. But that doesn't make the child the main technician in the home.
Even if a child knows how to use the Internet, this does not mean that he is aware of the consequences of every action on the global computer network Internet. Parents need to understand children's content and the dangers of the web.
And you should always be ready for the moment when your child finds something unfamiliar on the Internet and needs a conversation with someone more experienced. It is important to involve the child in dialogue. Therefore, a trusting atmosphere is so important in a family, where children can freely ask questions and receive comprehensive information in an accessible form.
The Internet is a child-friendly world in which anonymity, chaos and freedom of access to any information reign. Now children have the deceptive idea that they are the "kings of the Internet" and should live in it without the participation of their parents. This idea needs to be changed. In most social networks, registration is open from the age of 14.
Therefore, if you allowed your child to social networks, let him know that this is an “honorable right” that parents can legally restrict. At the stage of "acquaintance" with social networks, agree that access to them is possible if they do not interfere with studies and subject to compliance with:
- rules of virtual behavior,
- intrafamily agreements,
- daily routine.
If the child does not comply with the agreements, then it is necessary to apply measures of influence, including reducing the time or excluding Internet walks, while there are various software solutions to help.
