Important to talk to kids about Online
It is important to talk with your kids about life online, in an open dialogue. And it is important to raise awareness kids, says consultant Kjellaug Tonheim Tonnesen ChildMinder.
A survey conducted by the Media Authority shows that 83 percent of children between 9 and 16 years, smartphone, while the average age of children before their first cell phone is eight years. Barns opportunities for online contact with others is therefore great, even outside the home.
That’s horrible sad that children exposed to abuse. It is very serious. But we must remember that the vast majority of children do not experience such things, and the reality on the net must not be painted black, says Tønnesen.
Parents of the forthcoming must be vigilant
She believes that parents must be vigilant also against network risks and that they must consciously make the kids and teach them some basic rules. -It Is better to focus on media joy than the potential dangers, yet it is important to be clear that there is always a risk of encountering someone who is not who they purport to be, says Tønnesen.
She believes children must be made aware of what is okay to share about themselves, both of personal information and not least pictures and video. -This Also applies to those situations where children assume they have a confidential conversation with a peer or an online boyfriend. One can never be absolutely sure that the trust will not be broken, says advisor Kjell Haug Tonheim Tonnesen ChildMinder, which gives advice to children and parents, including about network use.
