Chandigarh 19th June:- Summer
holidays are here and with the soaring temperatures kids tend to spend a lot
more time indoors, and on the internet. While the cyber world has a lot of
positive activities and avenues for learning, it comes with its own risks,
especially for children. According to the recent Microsoft Digital Civility
Index, teens reported much higher and frequent online risks than adults. The
report also found that parents can have the greatest impact on the digital
safety of their kids, with a large number of teens placing their faith and trust
in parents to keep them safe.
According
to Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan, a Senior Psychiatrist, parents need to be more
attentive and alert about their child’s surroundings in the cyber world. They
should also watch for behavioural change caused due to emotional abuse online,
and must take preventive measures. While they need to enable their kids
with devices and access to the internet, to stay attuned and competitive, they
must ensure, at the same time that the devices are equipped with the best
safety and security features.
