Saving your Kids by Being Hip.
If you are a good parent, you worry about your kids. What are they doing with their free time, who do they hang out with, what do they like playing, and, of course, what websites do they visit. Some parents believe that a family filter is enough to protect their children, but I testify that it is not. I was able to get around my father's web-blocks at the age of 14. It isn't difficult and it isn't complicated. What parents can do is get involved. Whatever your child is playing, try playing it. If they are on social sites, make a Facebook or YouTube account. One cannot protect one's child from something one doesn't understand. When we understand, then we can place the guidelines that will keep our family in check.

I totally agree, while a filter goes a long way it isn't enough.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of parents getting involved. It helps them get informed and shows that they care what the children are doing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I imagine a kid would be more inclined to listen if they knew their parents had tried it and knew what they were talking about.
ReplyDeleteThe kid would also love if the parent asks the kid to explain whatever it is they're doing, unless of course the kid knows they shouldn't be doing it. Either way it'll be a learning experience for both parent and child.
