Both the adults and the young people think about the computer like an exact and reliable information source. The increasing number of services of connection in line and the access to the Internet has added a new dimension to the use of the modern computer. The children have access to an infinite quantity of information and have the opportunity for the interaction. Nevertheless, there can be real risks and dangers for the child who has no supervision.
Most of the services of connection provides to the children such resources like encyclopedias, newscasters, access to libraries and other materials of value. They can use the computer to communicate with his friends and to play. The aptitude to go up and down with only one "click" of the computer attracts him to the impulsiveness, the curiosity and to the need for immediate gratification or feedback that the child has.
Easy access for the children to areas that are not adapted or are overwhelming,
Information "in line" that encourages the hate, the violence and the pornography,
Intensive classified announcements that cheat and bombard the child with harmful ideas,
Invitation so that the children register to gain awards or join a club that needs to provide personal information or from the hearth to unknown sources,
The time that passes opposite to the computer is a time lost for the development of the social workmanship.
To help the children to have experiences "in line" sure and educational, the parents have to of:
To limit the time that the children spend "in line" and "sailing" in the Internet.
To teach him to the children that to speak to him to the "names of screen" in a "room of conversation" is the same that him to speak to strangers or to strangers.
To teach him to the child who must never give him personal information that identifies another person or I "besiege" in the Internet.
Never to give to the child the number of his credit card or any another password that it is possible to use to buy things in line or to have access to services or inappropriate "places".
To teach him to the child who is never necessary to go to know each other in person anybody whom it met in line.
To remember him that not everything what it sees or reads "in line" is real.
To use the control forms that his connection service in line offers him to the parents, and to obtain one of the commercially available programs that allow the parents to limit the access to the rooms of conversation, the groups of news and other not appropriate places.
The parents must bear in mind that the communications "in line" will not prepare for the child for the real interpersonal relations. If you initially dedicate time to help the child to explore the connection services and if he takes part periodically with him while it uses the Internet it will have the opportunity to supervise and to direct the use that his son of the computer makes.
