As children grow, they begin to get new responsibilities and
new privileges. We expect them to do more chores and to get good grades, but we
also allow them to stay out later and be home alone. But these all come at different
ages, as our children learn to deal with the issues involved. Protecting our children
online should not be different, and we should apply the same standards that we use
with children in the physical world to the online world.
For the most part, we would watch a five-year-old every possible
moment. A young child may easily fall into the pool or run into the street if we
are not there to watch them. The same is true for the internet. While a five-year-old
is unlikely to fall victim to a child predator, we should still be there for them
to develop a communication relationship that will stick with them as they age.
Eventually, when we know our child is going to look both ways
before they cross the street and not open the door for strangers, we begin to allow
our child some time alone. As they age, we allow increasing privacy and increasing
time either home alone or out alone or with friends. Again, this is the same standard
we should apply online. Once we are confident that we have taught our children how
to avoid child predators and questionable material, we can begin to provide them
with unmonitored time, confident that we have taught them the skills needed to survive
on the World Wide Web.
As they become teenagers, our children begin to take on new
interests and want to try new things. We ask questions to make sure they are safe.
Where are they going? Who will they be with? What will they be doing? And we talk
to them, making sure they know what we expect of them. The same is true online.
Asking the same questions and making expectations known will keep a teenager just
as safe on the internet as it will in the physical world.
Ultimately, the way we deal with our children in both the physical
world and online depends on their maturity and responsibility. If we apply the same
standards in both situations, we can be sure that we are doing the most to protect
our children. |
