Many parents are afraid that their children will face dangers and threats on social networks, so they do not know how to behave properly.
Their fears are well founded.
On the Internet you can find a lot of unreliable information, materials that are not intended for children and not the most decent people.
However, if you ask the question correctly from the very beginning, you can protect children from possible misfortunes.
What 4 rules should parents remember?
Don't prohibit the use of something
You yourself must understand that as soon as you prohibit some not very important thing, it immediately becomes interesting and attractive to the child.
If you prohibit the use of gadgets and the Internet in free time, then nothing good will come of this idea, experts say.
Parental control
Remember that children should not have any chance to come into contact with information that is not suitable for their age.
So always set up parental controls.
Remind me to check the information
This is a critical skill that even some adults will benefit from. Teach children to always verify what they find and believe to be true.
Fact checking never hurt anyone.
Keep an eye on your child unobtrusively
This does not mean, of course, that you need to track every “virtual trace,” but in general it is worth being aware of what your child is interested in.
If there are strange interests, they can always be eliminated at the very beginning.
