Can we really protect our children by controlling social media and prevent the share and comments features for them?

Children were in love with their chocolate,toys and friends but now they are itchy to social media and online gaming. How can we return their childhood and keep them safe and far from the hurtful contents on social media?

You have to give time to your children's. Spare time for them even in your very busy schedule. Children loves to play with their parents rather electronic devices. but If you don't give them time than they find some alternatives.

You can by watching them, try limit their time on social media, and surely make sure their accounts are set to private and has some privacy and check they got no strangers nor interacting with strangers.

Thanks for your invitation.ofcourse it is possible. But you must be a technology master. you can protect anyhow from your advanced router. or any other way as well. But you need to be good server admistrator. I do protect a time but for internet cafe user. But controlling social media and prevent the share and comments features for them=== for this purpose you must need your own social media platform . Because you don't have any control to other social media adminstration all including hurtful contents. Thanks

Get involved – I speak with my daughter regularly about which sites she is using, and given her age, I personally vet all app downloads. This way, I can keep an eye on security settings and make a judgement on whether I think it’s safe and appropriate for her to use.

Educate early and often – I warned my daughter about the dangers of the internet as soon as she started browsing, and remind her of safe online behaviour regularly – don’t accept friendship requests from people you don’t know, verify requests if they look to be coming from someone you do know, never agree to a private chat with a stranger, never post your mobile phone number or home address online for all to see.

Communication is key – I like to be open, approachable and understanding about what my daughter is getting up to online. This way it makes it easier for her to come to me with any problems she’s experiencing online, and she’s happy to ask for advice.

On a more general note, talk to your kids about how they use their computers and smartphones and ask about any concerns they might have. Be prepared to field any questions they may ask – there are plenty of online resources available to help support you in answering tough and delicate questions.”

The key answer is not How to protect them from outside connections from social media or any thing else but what we teach them to protect them selves

I think from my point of view that for our children to know exactly what is happening in the world today expecially anything to do with internet, we should start talking to them at an earlier age so that as they grow up they may know what it really takes and how its exposure affects either negatively or positively.

 

And now it depends on how you teach them about the internet and which it explains the idea that you either do it manually or do it online meaning practically. By manual I mean face to face.

 

But also again we have to make sure we limit the exposure of internet to out children as well us our teanagers. Even though its their right to know all about internet and stuff but we should be careful of what we are exposing them to or what they are upto.
