Hey Guys!
How are you all
I was thinking about to discuss about the issue that have becoming more and more challenging now a days for every parent. It is the online safety of our children, young siblings and the youngsters of our families,
As you all are aware of the growing consequences of the internet on youngster's lives.
The internet could be a best medium for our children to learn and grow their skills effectively also in a positive directions yet it can also have a bad impact and dangerous for their safety online. e.g. Cyberbullying, Online Predation, phishing, falling for scams, downloading malware,and some posts that can come back and haunt the children life later in lives etc. I know their are numerous more problems that our children face in daily life that they are hesitated to share with all of us, because of our lack of communication plus not ready to give time to our children, which ultimately not only ruin their social lives plus in future there could have been the fatal results as per some studies.
So it is the time to wake up, not just start discussing with your children but also taking the early precautions before handing them devices. Some of the early precautionary measures that I have studied so far from different resources that I also found useful in my own life are
1. Teaching your kids few basics to use internet
2. telling them not to disclose their personal information
3. How to set secure Passwords and not giving it up easily
4. Also advising them not to be exposed too much in social media profiles.
You can also know the good tips about how to secure your kids on the internet from here.
In addition to that safer internet day is on 11th Feb that has been dedicated for children to make a better internet for them.
I think if this issue is been raised on the global level, so why not we can start create awareness on the individual levels. So lets start creating this internet a safer place for us and our loved ones.
I have done my part by taking initiative on personal level, have you started too?
You can start discussing about the things that you have done for your family members safety on the internet and also share with others to do the same.
Thanks
