Have you ever wondered how to navigate the digital world with your children? Today we discuss a pertinent topic: good digital parenting and giving online consent. Understandably, the internet can be tricky not just for our young ones, but for us adults as well. However, keeping our children safe doesn't mean shutting them out from the vast global information network. Here's how you can embark on this challenging, yet rewarding journey of digital parenting.

What is Digital Consent?

First and foremost, we need to define the term digital consent. This concept refers to the permission needed to use, share or access online information - a crucial element of our digital life. Discussing digital consent with your child will help them understand how to navigate the internet with respect for other users and their own safety in mind.

The Steps to Good Digital Parenting

  1. Talk with your kids: The importance of open communication cannot be overstressed. Regularly discuss their online activities and experiences without alarming them.
  2. Educate Yourself: Keeping up with the latest trends and technology can be a daunting task. But remember, understanding enhances your ability to guide your child through the digital world.
  3. Explore and Mentor: Actively participate in their online activities. Know what your child likes and dislikes, which platforms they frequent, and how they conduct themselves online. Be a digital role model and guide them through challenges they may face.

Implement Parental Controls

Parental controls are an essential tool for protecting your child from inappropriate content and ensuring they adhere to the rules set. Monitor their privacy settings on social media, limit their online hours, and establish a mutual understanding of the consequences of breaking your family's online safety rules.

Addressing Digital Dilemmas

Encountering problems online is inevitable. Whether it's your five-year-old daughter wanting to explore YouTube or your son dealing with cyberbullying on Facebook, it's crucial to handle these situations with confidence. Tampering with their online activities should be a last resort. Instead, encourage open conversation about these issues and establish ground rules.

Providing Guidance and Establishing Trust

Digital natives may seem adept at navigating digital platforms, but their comfort with technology doesn't equate to wisdom. Your guidance as a parent is crucial in helping them use these tools positively and safely. Remember, fostering a trusting relationship with your child will make them more comfortable in sharing their online experiences with you.

Handling the Threats of Cyberbullying and Identity Theft

Bullied and harassed children commonly believe the fault lies with them. As a parent, reassure your child that they should never blame themselves. Encourage them to reach out for help and use the available tools to protect their accounts. The same approach applies in protecting their identity online. Be vigilant about the sharing of personal information on social media and set ground rules for internet use.

Understanding and Controlling Video Game Usage

Although video games can offer a variety of benefits, including building friendships and communication skills, they can also become a point of obsession. Establish ground rules about video game usage and monitor the type of games your child plays.

Managing Social Media and Digital Reputation

It's no secret that social media plays a crucial role in teenagers' lives. As a parent, navigate their social media usage with them, teach them how to maintain a positive attitude online, and ensure their privacy settings are appropriate. And remember, have regular discussions about their online activities.

Digital Parenting, Above All, is Empowering

As parents, our primary role is to ensure our children navigate the digital world safely. Aim for regular conversations about what's happening on the internet and the importance of practicing positive cyber-etiquette. Remember, digital parenting is an evolving skill - the more time you and your child spend with technology, the better you'll get at it. So, here's to empowering us in our good digital parenting journey. Stay safe and take care!

There are a lot of parent guide for the educational technology also because I as outside as our teens, they go to the school they take should also be de defined.

The education technology or the tech is the study and the practice of teaching and learning processes and strategies that incorporated devices, apps program and the media. So all these things, even the tech savvy, both the tech savvy and the tech hesitant parents are not always familiar with the all of the education technology. So they should try to make them familiar so that it becomes the easy assays to share with their Children with their Children and they feel excited and they can share each and everything so easily. Even the most tech savvy teens need added guidance. You know, there is a common assumption that Children and these are digital natives. They are more knowledgeable about how to best use that technology than adults is that necessarily true do you think? But that's not necessarily true. Even Children who are very comfortable with trying out new devices and apps need the guidance of their parents and teachers on how to use those tools in the very positive and the very sensitive, safe way and in a very productive manner. A beach of the wisdom and common sense also come in handy. So your parents and teacher, even those who may not be all that tech savvy have something to offer young people in terms of how to appropriately use technology. So how is student has to use technology?

They should try to find and analyze resources and materials code and programs, your digital stories, digital citizenship and how the teachers have to use the technology that should be home, friendly, home school communication should come in between and it should be friendly, better student feedback.

What is the school program policy for protecting the students, information and data privacy? These things are very much entertained. Are all the apps and program teachers and the Children uh in front of the classroom? Is there the payroll of the printer right place at school to prevent from coming in contact with the inappropriate contents? What accounts do a student has as part of their enrollment in the school? Is it the email? Is it a Google too or is it the other means? So all this Google and all these things, what are there and how most time you are going to provide your Children um the time, how much excitement you have to give them the tablet, but you should keep the tablet. But there should be some ground rules that have to come along with. This should be the time limit, there should be the restriction. There should be the apps which has to be controlled with not to be controlled and the content. What type of content your child should be made familiar and peculiar with, there are a lot of issues that have been uh coming along with the digital parenting with the techno arena high enhancement and with that comes the cyberbullying which we should prevent from. And there are a lot of kids to help stop the cyberbullying, especially for the kids and the teens. Normally, what happens is that the child and the teens think that it's their fault. No, you have to know that it's not their fault.

You must not blame yourself, don't respond or re retaliate it. If you can remove yourself from the situation, if you cannot sometimes humor disarms or distract a person from bullying, save the, tell the person to stop, reach out for help use available, take tools, protect your account.

If someone you know, is being bullied, take action or if you do all these things then and if you uh yeah, thank you so much. I seeing so much uh of uh messages in the chat box and that's really the the encouragement. Uh I, I'm running out of the time. I'm just hurrying might be. I'm a bit faster if I fast.

And uh when they share the information is very much easy and comfortable, most young people don't tell their parents about bullying online or offline. You won't know until you get the full story starting with your child's perspective or with your child be there with your child.

There are two reasons why you will want to keep your child involved. Bullying and cyberbullying usually involve a loss of dignity or control over the social situation. And it can be very much frustrating and devastating in some situations to respond thoroughly, not fast, more than one perspective is needed sometimes uh whatever we have seen or gone through the process might not be the right. So you try to find out and aly the situation and what victims say helps most is to be hard. So the ultimate goal is restored self-respect and the greater resilience in your child. So the positive outcome is offer here from your child, whatever they want to share with you so that the things become so much easier and comfortable and the problems can be solved. What are the tips for protecting the keys and trains from the identity taped? There are a lot of times we are hearing about the identity tape of the kids. And normally what happens as a parent is that we love to share the photo of our uh child in the Facebook without the permission. So is it really fruitful s we take consent with our child in that case, we should, so these things make the identity taped.

So we should try to protect the child's identity and we have to know how our child's school protect student data, how our child's social security number is protected, how our child's personal information is being used and how is is my our child's device being secured enough or not?

So we should be very careful on the social media because social media is so much blessing nowadays that each and everything, even your family life, even your individual life has become the social life nowadays. So we should be very much a lot and we should make sure that our child is eating strong, secure and unique pass or be careful in the physical world to and not just with the strangers. Sometimes. What happened is that you even one personal people also can be strangers, child and youth can be the victim of their own relative, friend and so on the alert and save the youth and your child from being the vulnerable. And most often, what I have heard is from the parents is that about each and every time my child is playing all the video games and doing this and that so is to say the ground rule for playing the video game and unlocking the video game. What are the E sports? What are the, there are also the benefits of the video game, you know, so that type of benefit, you should be aware about a parent and building friendship with new friends is really very much interesting. And between the teammates and developing communication skill is also interesting. So you to try to help manage your child's gaming hobby by researching about the game, are the game they're playing really feasible. Uh Are they being habitual or not?

So you should try to have the idea about the gaming and regarding the digital reputation check list, search yourself on online, check your privacy setting, review your social media, post, review, who you follow and who follows you back. Think before you post and B all is so much positive with a positive attitude, attitude should be positive. Only the thing to be negative is the Corona antivirus in the two days old. And the two days we all are suffering from that. And while navigating the social media, you have to find out as far as concerned. What we have seen is that I have seen from the research that the most popular online platform among the teenagers is youtube, 85% Instagram, 72% Snapchat, 69% Facebook, 51% you get 32%. And nowadays, um tiktok is also becoming very much popular, so you should try to navigate from the social media.
