We so want to share bright moments in the lives of our children that sometimes we forget that “happiness loves silence”. The first successes in school, sports achievements or a passion for cooking - no matter how you would like to tell the whole world about it in secret, BUT it’s better not to spread it. So, 5 things about your child that should not appear on the Internet.
Hobbies
Every child sooner or later has a hobby for some business. Drawing, sewing, astronomy, gymnastics - there are a lot of areas where you can realize the potential of the baby. A keen child is wonderful! But to devote strangers to his hobbies is not worth it. They will know his weak spot, and at any opportunity they will want to lure him with this weakness. As an example, having promised to participate in competitions, a new costume, a master class, etc.
In the film "Room", which tells about the plight of the girl who lived in a small room with her five-year-old son, there is an indicative moment. The main character loved dogs very much, which was well known by a man who decided to lure her to him by deceit, and then make her his hostage. This is because parents never kept secret their daughter’s interest in pets, and were naive in this matter, thinking that this would not do any harm.
Places where the child spends time
It's simple: do not talk about places where your child spends time. In social networks, you can easily track where the child is with fresh photos only. Remember: strangers to you should not know where your child is.
Document Information
All personal information is not only protected by law, but in principle is not intended to be publicized by unauthorized persons. No documents should pop up on the Internet.
Photos with undressed children
It is forbidden to upload photos to the network in which the child is naked or at least slightly covered with clothes. People with unhealthy fantasies can only do it, but imagine what it will be like for you when security officials notice it. Photos with half-dressed children suggest certain suspicions, even if this is an innocent photo of a baby splashing in the bathroom.
Excessive frankness
Sometimes parents reveal to strangers too secret details about their children. They can talk about his tastes, habits, personal traits. Such things should not go beyond the family; it is too personal. Moreover, someone can remember this data and use it not for the most good purposes.
Children are also people, and sometimes they may need an account on social networks to communicate with classmates or teachers.But parents should insist that their child does not talk about the details of their life and as little as possible indicate information about themselves.
People who have not reached a certain age (on Instagram, for example, thirteen years old) are prohibited from creating accounts on social networks. It is clear that a child can cheat on his true age, so parents should carefully monitor what their child does on the Internet. This is a very serious question, since there are a lot of scammers and inappropriate people on social networks and instant messengers.
Be vigilant, conscious and careful!
