The Internet has been revolutionary in our abilities to connect with people all over the world. We now have access to photos and videos at the click of a button, can talk to someone without seeing their face, and exchange our most personal details with strangers. This world, though diverse and often useful, can be a nightmare for parents. Especially parents of children that are just coming into their teens, discovering this big wide world of the internet all on their own.
You want to protect your child from the big scary world until they’re at least 30.
There are a couple of things you may consider doing:
-
Ban all Internet devices in the home and outside. That means also banning your laptop and phone in case they get a hold of it.
