Why can't some things about children be posted on the Internet? And how can excessive frankness of parents on the Internet affect the lives and health of children?
We so want to share bright moments from the lives of our children that sometimes we forget that "happiness loves silence." First successes in school, sports achievements or hobby for cooking - no matter how much you want to tell the whole world about it in secret, BUT it is better not to spread it. So, 5 things about your child that shouldn't appear on the Internet.
Child's hobby
Every child sooner or later becomes infatuated with something. Drawing, sewing, astronomy, gymnastics - there are a great many areas where you can realize your baby's potential. A keen child is great! But you should not devote strangers to his hobbies. They will know his weak point, and at any opportunity they will want to lure him with this weakness. As an example, having promised to participate in competitions, a new costume, a master class, etc.
There is a significant moment in the film "Room", which tells about the plight of a girl who lived in a small room with her five-year-old son. The main character was very fond of dogs, which the man knew perfectly well, who decided to deceive her to himself, and then make her his hostage. This is because the parents never kept their daughter's hobby for pets a secret, and were naive in this matter, thinking that it would not harm in any way.
Places where the child spends time
It's simple: don't talk about the places where your child spends time. On social networks, you can only easily track where the child is using fresh photographs. Remember: strangers do not need to know where your child is.
Information about documents
All personal information is not only protected by law, but in principle is not intended to be voiced to unauthorized persons. No documents should appear on the Internet.
Photos with undressed children
It is forbidden to upload photos on the network in which the child is naked or at least slightly covered with clothes. For people with an unhealthy imagination, this only plays into the hands, but imagine what it will be like for you when the intelligence officers notice it. Photos with half-naked children raise some suspicions, even if this is an innocent photo of a toddler splashing in the bathroom.
Excessive candor
Sometimes parents reveal too intimate details about their children to strangers. They can tell about his tastes, habits, personal traits. Such things should not go outside the family, it's too personal. Moreover, someone can remember this data and use it not for the best purposes.
Children are people too, and sometimes they need a social media account to connect with classmates or teachers. But parents should insist that their child does not spread about the details of his life and indicate as little information about himself as possible.
People under a certain age (on Instagram, for example, thirteen years old) are prohibited from creating accounts on social networks. It is clear that a child can lie about his real age, so parents should carefully monitor what their child is doing on the Internet. This is a very serious question, since social networks and instant messengers are full of scammers and inappropriate people.
Be vigilant, conscientious and careful!
