The debate is on the street. Should we prohibit the use of new technologies by children or educate them the responsible use? Although many teachers, psychologists, and parents do not agree about the most appropriate age to introduce elements such as a smartphone, tablet or computer in a child's life, almost all agree on the idea that ban is not the answer, but to teach the children, educate them and give them some guidelines to work on the network. The main thing is that children know the dangers of the Internet and how they behave while surfing. To help you, here we give you 8 tips for child safety on the internet!
- Keep in mind that what is not good in real life neither is the Internet.
- Before sharing information, think twice about what information is to spread and never pass data through the network to strangers. If someone requests personal data, you should leave the conversation with that person.
- Talking to a stranger on the Internet usually does not make him a friend. So instruct your kid not to be with someone they have known through the network if it goes unaccompanied by an adult.
- Know that the Internet should receive the same treatment as any other known real life scenarios so, don’t allow things or attitudes that would not be accepted outside the network.
- We must put common sense in everything that is done on the Internet. Anything, comments or attitude of someone who makes you uncomfortable is to provoke a reaction in us so, ignore that person, block contact and banish further talks.
- Avoid using the real name as a nickname or one that attracts attention incorrectly to the person.
- It is very important to notify parents or a trusted adult if the odd behavior is detected such as cyberbullying.
- Chat conversations can be stored and should do to report whether a case of cyberbullying is detected.
