How to protect a child from online threats?

Nowadays, various flash mobs are gaining popularity among children who actively use the Internet. They use them to express themselves and challenge the world.

One of these is the "Disappear for 24 Hours" flash mob, which has spread among our teenagers. Its essence is to hide for 24 hours so that no one sees or finds you. However, such initiatives do not always result in good consequences and may pose a threat to the life and health of the child.

Causes of Internet risks

1. All children are at risk. They are interested in this, because in this way they expand the boundaries of their capabilities and want to see what can and cannot be done. In this way, they try to test themselves and challenge society in order to somehow increase their self-esteem. However, in such flash mobs, there is a risk of running into scammers who will take advantage of the teenager's naivety.

In our childhood, we also often tested ourselves, but then it was not associated with such a level of risk. Now the child can be controlled by others, and this is the greatest danger.

2. The crisis in the relationship with parents. This is what sometimes makes a child test himself in other places. If you don't communicate much with your child and don't spend a lot of time with him, he may not think about and analyze the danger of the situation.

When parents very often force a child to do something and want the child to obey them, there is a risk that he will obey strangers.


Which children are at risk

Children of all ages may be at risk. It all depends on when they start using the Internet.

As soon as a child starts living on the Internet, she gets into the risk zone. It doesn't matter her social status, or whether she has a full-fledged family, etc.

The solution to the problem

1. Alternative activities. To prevent your child from being in danger due to Internet flash mobs, you need to channel his energy in another direction. To do this, you can send your child to sports or other sections. It will be interesting for the child there and he will spend his time usefully.

The child should have something alternative and interesting so that he pays attention to it. The ideal option is if the parents will do this together with the child.

2. Communication. It is important to communicate with children with interest, to find out how they spent their time. Children like to hide a lot of things, because the interest is that it should be a secret story. Then they feel chosen.

Do everything possible to ensure that you and your child are chosen together.

3. Explain to the child what danger the Internet poses to her. You need to use an example from reality. You should explain to the child that you should not tell a stranger where you are going, etc. Parents should explain that it should be the same with the Internet: all your passwords and addresses should be hidden. If you explain to a child that virtual life is the same as real life, then children are likely to understand that danger exists.
