The topic of children’s safety in the network was discussed at the forum “Flowers of Life”, organized by the member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Evgeny Nifantievon Children’s Day.
“We wanted to have a cozy family holiday. And we did it. This time we have focused on educational work with parents. Young participants were presented with a musical show “Blue Tractor”, and parents were given useful practical knowledge. Unfortunately, not all the threats that lie in wait for our children are obvious. Now parents will be able not only to warn them, but also to equip them with rules of behavior in questionable situations in the network, ” noted Yevgeny Nifantiev.
According to him, many threats come from the Internet, including social networks, which children begin to use almost from the first grade, only after learning to read and write. Unfortunately, parents often use gadgets to calm or keep their children occupied. We have held a number of sports events in the Southern District.we see that we are able to organize children’s leisure activities so that children spend more time with their families in the fresh air, and do not sit in social networks. It is we who can choose for them clubs according to their interests, sports sections and make them friends with the real world, Nifantiev added.
The guest of the event was child psychologist Olga Bochkova, who gave a lecture and answered questions. In a conversation with parents, she noted that we should not forget about the safety of the Internet, so that when using it, children avoid dangerous consequences. * Use parental control programs for children’s gadgets that allow you to limit dangerous content, help filter friends, and control timelocations in the network and are able to track the location. As a rule, such measures are enough to protect the child, and a great effort from the parents is not required, the expert explained.
By the way, in May, Yevgeny Nifantiev held a “Mama Forum” for large families, where the well-known TV presenter Tutta Larsen spoke with the public talk “Conscious Parenthood”.
