We have all heard about the dangers of the internet. There is one thing that we can do to help our kids stay safe. We need to talk to our kids about it, in a way that they can hear us. We need to get them excited and involved in discussing ways to keep themselves safe.
How can we do this? Kids need to know that they can talk to us about anything. Many times we lecture our kids and they tune us out. It is better if we invite our kids to have mature discussion about whatever it is we are worried about. Because the internet seems so scary, it seems safer for us to just lay down the rules without any input from our kids. Experts feel differently. It is even more important to discuss the tough topics, like internet safety, openly and candidly.
Toddler Bed Safety
Kids are more likely to use the internet safely if they have a say in making the rules. Kids like it when we listen to their opinions. This does not mean that we are agreeing with what they are saying.
To open a conversation about internet safety we can say the following:
"We just went to a lecture on internet safety. We were told that teens and adults are having more and more problems with addictive online behaviors. The speaker spoke about some things we didn't even know about, online gambling, inappropriate video games, cyber bullying, cyber suicides, obsessive texting and e-mailing and then the stuff we knew about, like pornography and predators. We want you to have the facts. We want to talk to you so that you are aware of the dangers and so that you can protect yourself."
After this speech you can start the conversation rolling by asking some open-ended questions:
What do you think of all this? What are your friends doing to make sure they are safe? Do you think you can get addicted to technology? Do you think any of your friends are addicted to technology? What do you think they could do? Do you and kids your age feel comfortable coming to us or your teachers about this? What can we do as a family to keep you and your siblings safe? What have you learned about this stuff? Do you think it is true what they say about cyber-bullying, what do you think? How do your friends feel about the dangers of the internet? What do you think of cyber predators? That really concerns us as parents.
Parents need to discuss important issues with their kids in a respectful and inquisitive way. This will insure that kids take responsibility for their own behavior and are up to date with the dangers of internet use.
