\"How <\/picture><\/p>\n

All parents know that keeping up with children can be difficult and exhausting.\u00a0From the minute they wake up until their head hits the pillow at night, they’re constantly in\u00a0motion. It can leave parents frazzled and craving a bit of respite anyway we can get it. Far too\u00a0often, it’s easier to turn on the TV or iPad to occupy the kids<\/a> in exchange for a few sweet, quiet\u00a0minutes of respite.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, with our busy schedules and lengthy to-do lists, these few minutes\u00a0can easily turn into hours. The Internet exposes youth to a lot of dangers – and we’re not talking about eye strain\u00a0and sore thumbs here – even though they are secure under our roofs or safe in our line of sight.<\/p>\n

Youth And Technology<\/strong>
\nTo understand how prevalent technology is in our lives, we need to understand how reliant on\u00a0devices our children really are:<\/p>\n

\u25cf 95% of children are able to access the Internet.<\/p>\n

\u25cf 90% of teens have social media accounts.<\/p>\n

\u25cf 78% of tweens and teens are Smartphone owners.<\/p>\n

\u25cf 52% of the younger population admit that they have been cyberbullied<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Close to 40% of adolescents and teens engage in sexting and share suggestive\u00a0messages.<\/p>\n

\u25cf 56% of older children are logged onto Facebook all day.<\/p>\n

\u25cf 5.6 million Facebook profiles<\/a> belong to children who are below the minimum age\u00a0requirement.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Almost 6 out of 10 children<\/a> ranging in age from 8 to 12 own cell phones.<\/p>\n

Online Safety Tips For Children<\/strong>\"90% <\/picture>
\nKnowing all the threats lurking online can palpitate a parent\u2019s heart. Thankfully, there are a few\u00a0methods and techniques to reduce the risk of online dangers.<\/p>\n

1. Limit data usage on cell phones. A recent study<\/a> found that limited data was the best\u00a0deterrent to discourage sexting.<\/p>\n

2. Keep all electronics in open rooms that are frequented by family members. Hopefully, this\u00a0will limit negative interactions online. If your child feels like someone is looking over their shoulder, they’re less likely to be inappropriate online.<\/p>\n

3. Teach your children proper social media etiquette. Start early and instruct them to use\u00a0proper online behavior.<\/p>\n

4. Limit access to electronics and use recommended guidelines for time used. Researchers\u00a0strongly suggest no screen time for children under the age of 2<\/a>. Preschoolers and elementary\u00a0children should use technology sparingly with parental guidance.<\/p>\n

5. Stay informed on current trends and apps. Go the extra mile to understand new social\u00a0media apps and identify possible problem areas.<\/p>\n

6. Follow your child on social media. Sometimes the mere presence of a parent will encourage\u00a0better behavior.<\/p>\n

7. Explain the dangers of oversharing personal information online. Privacy is only an illusion\u00a0and everything posted has the possibility of resurfacing.<\/p>\n

8. Enforce age requirements for social media sites. The rules are there for a reason and age\u00a0guidelines help avoid exposing children to inappropriate content.<\/p>\n

9. On your home network, you can block certain sites that you don’t want your children accessing.<\/p>\n

10. Create a contract with your child. Clearly layout your expectations and rules with the\u00a0consequences firmly explained. Both parents and child should sign it.<\/p>\n

\"Monitor <\/picture>11. Be aware of how your child uses their cell phone.<\/a> Purchase an app that allows convenient access\u00a0to all accounts, texts, and incoming messages to protect your child<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Security Matters<\/strong>
\nToday, almost every device has the ability to sync with WiFi or has built-in capabilities. A few years\u00a0ago, it was easy to set up a firewall or simply unplug the dial-up modem to limit online threats. The\u00a0job of protecting our children online can be a monumental task in our hyper-connected society.\u00a0Thankfully, evidence shows that parental intervention can avert a lot of the negativity lurking\u00a0online<\/a>. Taking a few precautions now will allow your children to enjoy playing and interacting\u00a0online with their peers and family. Proactive parents can breathe a little easier when they treat\u00a0their child to a few minutes on their tablets or computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
