Why parental control for internet is necessary?

Watching over children is a never ending story as far as parental responsibility is concerned. Over the decades parents were worrying about their closest and were trying to control them to keep them safe. One thing that is changing constantly in terms of threats that youth can be exposed to, are the types of the danger. About 50 years ago parents were worrying mainly about the education of their kids, about their manners or if they looked properly. Two decades ago the problem was more about bad influence that the environment could have on their children. Nowadays the problem is much more serious. First, because of the fact that all previous risks are still relevant and the second, because the age of globalization and computerization brought new threats that can have serious impact on the youngest’s physical and mental condition.

What are nowadays threats?
Recently we can speak about the trend among young people that is about being constantly online. It is nothing dangerous itself but it is strictly connected with purpose of using the internet. If the kid is searching websites in order to get some knowledge for school course or is just interested in some case, it is absolutely proper way of usage the web. Situation is completely different when kids treat internet as a place where they can do whatever they want to keeping in mind that nobody controls them. Then a lot of really bad things can happen. Every day children can accidently or not enter into demoralizing websites with pornographic content, brutal sites full of violence, humiliation and pedophilia. Children that are exposed to some of those issues can grow up as a mentally ill people that may have really big problems in the future. Very often young people become addicted to the Web and cannot normally exist without it.

How to fight with those threats?
At the beginning as with every problem concerning children, first step should be always education. Parents should try to educate the kids in order to raise their awareness about dangerous things. It can be done by an honest talk, showing how things should be done and what to avoid. Parents should build a respect and use it to become a role model. Next tier is school education. Education system should root real life values in the pupils. Teachers should also be very sensitive about every violation of those values and react immediately. After the education process, the next very important issue is control. Kids sometimes do not take into consideration what parents and teachers are trying to teach them. Of course trust is very important aspect of relationship between kids and parents but sometimes some strong reactions have to take place. Very good example of controlling that doesn’t affect the relationship could be parental control software. At least in this sphere parents and teachers can be 100% sure that the kid will not do anything wrong.  Kid may be even not aware that software is blocking web pages that consist of inappropriate content. Software like this is also able to put filters on email box or even allow to use the computer only in particular hours.
