Parents can no longer separate their children from the computer and from communication on social networks. Many try to prohibit and limit the time spent at the computer, but they are unlikely to be able to prevent them from communicating with friends on Facebook or on Odnoklassniki. It would probably be wiser to help children get used to these sites faster.
Modern children are pretty wise guys. And if you give them the right direction for communication in social networks, then they will not drown in this ocean, but will learn to choose useful and pleasant information from it, and even share with their parents. Of course, some kind of limiters will have to be installed, although this is difficult. However, if you have a mutual understanding with your child, then everything will work out. As we remember, children love to be explained to them: they want to know why this is so, and the other is different. So talk to them about "what is good and what is bad" when communicating on social media. This will serve them well.
So, advice from those parents who taught their child to communicate in social networks:
1. Advise all your opuses to write in normal Russian. This speaks of the upbringing and good education of a person, but words like "thousand", "cho", "right now", "ATP" should be used only if you are writing memoirs about Russian gopniks. The child can say that this saves time. Answer that you will not save much on a few letters - it is better to let him play computer games less.
2. Normal people on social networks do not offend other users and do not get to the bottom of them. This is done by the so-called "trolls" - people who are paid money to draw attention to a problem or a website. This is their job, although it cannot be called honorable. There is another kind of "trolls" - people embittered all over the world who enjoy insulting other people. They are generally unhappy, because others suffer from their anger, and so do they.
3. Hence another rule: do not feed the "troll". If you write that the Goths are cool, and they tell you that the Goths are fools, do not pay attention, especially if the comment is written in an aggressive tone. The troll will ignore your answers and repeat his nonsense, he will offend and will be absolutely sure that he is right. His goal is to piss a person out of himself, he is not going to conduct any constructive dialogue and is not looking for the truth in a dispute. If you really get it - delete the comments or blacklist the troll, you have the right to do so.
4. Do not get carried away with reposting. If a child has many adult friends, they are unlikely to be interested in tests from groups about Harry Potter and others. There are also re-posts from the "Need help for a sick child" series. Here you can't do without parental advice at all, because there are a lot of fake requests.
5. Don't believe everything people post on social media. There are those who like to spread such news, from which echoes go for a long time afterwards, and this was not true from beginning to end. It is better to double-check everything in other sources.
6. It is indecent to send photos and records from the closed pages of your friends. This is their personal information, and they themselves will decide with whom to share it.
7. On personal topics it is better to communicate in private messages, and not in the comments under the post. No one is interested in reading your greetings and enthusiasm for an online meeting
8. Do not write often in capital letters. Individual words with KEPS LOCOM are still all right, but the whole post is too much.
And the last advice: let him meet more often with friends in the real world, and not in the computer world, because live communication cannot be replaced by any virtual one.
