What Parents Can Do to Teach Internet Safety
The world has changed tremendously. Decades ago, the word ‘Internet’ did not even exist in the dictionary. Now look at us: Humanity now seems to need the Internet as much as the very air we breathe. The birth of the World Wide Web has ushered in a plethora of possibilities. With a simple tap of your Smart Phone you can get access to any information, link up to anyone and become literally anything you wish to be. However, as much as the internet has a lot of advantages, so does it have its cons. Nowadays, children barely out of Kindergarten are granted access to the web. They are exposed to all sorts of materials without supervision and sadly most parents remain apathetic to the potential dangers lurking in the online world. What can parents do to teach their children about internet safety? Our children are the future. They are the edifices to our foundations and as such, we owe it not only to them, but also to ourselves to give them a dignified and hopeful future.
