WHAT you don'T KNOW about your child's life on the Internet

You don't know where he "hangs out"

"In touch" I sit, you say. No. Not only there. There is "Instagram" social network where people share and appreciate the photos, "Youtube", where a teenager can watch anything from "smesharikov" to videochat the plague "LIH" (banned in Russia), there is a "Periscope" service with a public streaming video through a special application for smartphones. Not to mention the various "messenger" through which you can communicate without going through the social network. And this is only the "tip of the iceberg". You don't know what will appear tomorrow. You have no idea how fast it will develop the Internet the day after.





You don't know how to control it

You will not succeed. Why? Here is a small list of proven ways how to keep your privacy on the Internet:

— consistently to erase the so-called "history";

— open the browser window in "incognito"mode;

— create a second account with a fake name on the social network, which you don't recognize;

— change privacy settings on his page: hide groups which consist of hiding the pages of some friends, close access to photos and so on;

to protect your computer or smartphone password.

As soon as you overcome one way — there will be another. And, of course, surveillance is a constant cause for conflict.

You don't know how much time he spends on the Internet

2 hours a day? Can be 3 hours? No.

The survey was conducted by the laboratory of monitoring researches, msupe showed that in 2015, 37% of the students spend on social networks up to 3 hours per day, 22% from 3 to 5 and 22% more than 5 hours a day. And this is just a social network. According to the 6-th International conference "personal data Protection" every seventh teenager (12 to 17 years old) spends on the Internet, almost a third of his life – 8 hours a day.

You don't know how to speak the same language

You will not be able to build communication with your child on the specific language of Internet communication. First, this language changes every day. It is very dynamic. It constantly produces new terms and concepts that you just will not ripen. Secondly, in the eyes of a teenager like "the imitation game" will look obnoxious.

Moreover, the use of a child "slang" not only gives a sense of unity with their own kind. Such a language gives the ability to hide information from adults, "not to let them into your world". The so-called world of "subcultures", which boils your child has their own symbols and meanings that are beyond your understanding.

With whom your child is texting in a social network? What is the Internet communication environment? Who is it for credibility? What is the influence of his circle of friends for him? You have no answers to these questions. The Internet has long ceased to be a Supplement to reality.
