A very serious problem today is the impact of the Internet on children. Many parents, professionals and teachers believe that the worldwide network has a detrimental effect on the fragile child's psyche. There have been cases of teenagers committing terrible acts and making themselves suicidal because of materials posted on the Internet.
Each parent seeks to protect his beloved child from this terrible situation. However, we must be well aware that the Internet begins to affect our children much earlier. Today, even the youngest member of your family has the idea that through the worldwide network you can watch your favorite films, cartoons, pictures, listen to songs and more.
To begin with, you cannot forbid a child to explore the Internet. Precisely "not", but not worth it. The fact is that everyone knows perfectly well how sweet the forbidden fruit is. Believe me, your bans can only be effective for a while. While your baby is small and does not go to visit a friend from the sandbox without you, for example. After all, after this age, your child will perfectly cope with the development of the Internet without your help, and God knows from which Internet resources he will start doing this!
You must understand that the Internet is the result of the progressive development of society and it would be at least short-sighted to deprive your child of this benefit. Do not bring him to a situation where the baby will feel constrained and uncomfortable in the company of peers who are well versed in this issue. This can make the child feel insecure and even somewhat developmentally retarded.
In addition, today you can find a lot of useful information on the Internet that will definitely benefit your child. The main problem here is to teach him how to properly extract and use this information. This is where your child will need your parental help and care. Knowing the preferences and hobbies of your kid, you can easily navigate the Internet space and introduce your child to the "right" sites.
How to organize your child's acquaintance with Internet resources is up to you. Most importantly, it should be done in a simple, unobtrusive manner. If you think that visiting certain sites is unacceptable for a child, then immediately explain to the child why you are making such a decision. There is no need to go into unnecessary details, but also simple: "I said - you can not" also do not get rid of. Let your child keep pace with the times without compromising his health.
