Bullying in social networks, why it happens and how to stop it?

The phenomenon of cyberbullying is on the rise and translates into bravado, malice or naivety, the gravity of which is amplified by sharing through the phone or social networks. It is possible to prevent your children from being blocked by this phenomenon, turning into victims or perpetrators. Here are some rules to follow to educate your children to use the Internet correctly.

Understanding new technologies

To avoid fearing the tools your kids use so casually, it's vital to learn about them. You can participate in dedicated courses, where they will explain everything to you: from what a social network is to how to use it, who are the main ones and what mechanisms regulate them. You can also decide to let your children teach you the new digital tools directly. Taking an interest in what they are passionate about will certainly be a great step towards spending time together and not leaving them alone with technology.

Setting the rules

It will be important to decide, perhaps together with your children, the times and methods of access to technology. This way you will teach the little ones how to stay on social networks or use video games correctly, respecting themselves and others. The message to get across is that behavior should not change in the digital world and in the real world. In this sense, it will be useful to place the computer or tablet in a common space, for example in the hall. In this way, children will be subject to hidden control and will feel less free to adopt inappropriate behavior, even online.

Parental control

It is very important to check the privacy settings of different social networks and, possibly, remove some information: such as the school you attend, your home address and turn off geolocation.

dIALOGUE

Conversation is always the best way to explain to your children what are the risks associated with using new technologies and the reasons for the rules you have set. By activating a comparison, you will be able to make them aware of the situation and you will also be able to get useful information about what they are experiencing at school or in their virtual life./ Alfapress.al
