Turn your child's interest in using the Internet in a positive direction

The Dhaka Times Desk In today's modern age of internet it is almost impossible to keep children away from the net world. The net can be tactfully turned in a positive direction without unnecessary rants.

The child sits on the phone whenever he gets a chance. Whether the age of the child is 8 or 18, there is no end to the worries of the parents about the addiction to the net media. In the case of very young children, there is the attraction of games or cartoons and the curiosity of puberty after entering adolescence. In the age of the Internet, it is practically impossible to keep children away from Netdunia. Therefore, if the Internet can turn the matter in a positive direction rather than scolding it, then the net media can also be a curse.

Here's what you need to do:

Let the friendship grow

As the study pressure of children is increasing, the loneliness of children is also increasing by leaps and bounds. Breakup in joint family, living in separate flats, lack of playgrounds, all in all, many children are deprived of the opportunity to make friends. Due to which stress is increasing in the child's mind, there is a problem in mixing with people. This is where media like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter can come in handy. Especially after entering adolescence, social media can also be useful in increasing the boundaries of friendship. However, it must be kept in mind that there are many types of fraud traps in the network. It is the responsibility of the parents to warn the child about it.

A lifestyle lesson

During adolescence, many feel shy to talk about sensitive topics like mental health, sexuality, gender identity. In many cases, children cannot directly talk about these issues with their parents. There are many awareness campaigns about these issues on the internet. Things that can help your child talk fluently.

Creativity should be expressed

A few compliments on a child's own drawing, a newly learned recitation or a lovingly sung song can also bring immense joy to children. This net world can be a unique medium to express the creativity of the youth. Likes on a music video posted on Facebook can be a boost.

But along with the good side, there are many dangers in online media. Therefore, parents can not worry about the movement of their children there. In that case, a system like 'Parental Lock' can also be the solution. Also, many companies have come up with apps suitable for children. However, it is necessary to be careful that the excessive monitoring of the parents does not become a cause of fear or mistrust in the child's mind. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
