Child rearing is a process that requires a tremendous effort from a person and have to be considered carefully. It’s impossible to control everything in your child’s life but some organization in what information your toddler consumes daily is one of the most important means in upbringing. I’d like to observe the influence of social networks on early life: how it affects children, what consequences does it have and is it okay to ban them entirely for your children. I personally think that it’s almost unreal to hide internet and social networks from your kids. Later or sooner, they get access to it and do everything that they were not supposed to, so it’s necessary to think how to provide it for them without any harm. Of course, being socially active in Internet has some advantages and you should not forget about them. Sometimes a child finds communicating with other children outdoors quite a difficult matter and it makes their depressed and frustrated but it is possible that social networks will make him more talkative and self-confident. Internet offers an opportunity to talk almost to anyone and to find people who agree with you, that’s why it’s much easier find friends there than in any other environment. Moreover, social networks enable kids to learn something new and broaden their horizons without serious issues and difficulties. A lot of educational content is always circulating on the Web and the material there is easy to understand, a vast majority of content makers give a child freedom of choice. Practical understanding of technology is also a big benefit for everyone who wants to have success in modern world. In some hidden manner using social networks develops your skills in dealing with modern technologies and makes you an advanced user of them. Nevertheless, nothing is ideal, especially when it has to find a way with children. The main reason why your kids’ activity in Internet should be supervised is that you never know what they can find there. Along with people who maintain healthy lifestyle and deference to parents there is a number of persons that post indecent and obscene content and it is fraught with harm to a toddler’s mental health. It is well-known that mind of a child is very vulnerable and new information is not always filtered properly so be sure that your kid isn’t watching something that will do harm to him. Even if information is not forbidden, it’s not healthy for him to spend a great amount of time in Internet. It not only hinders his productivity but also makes him less developed in other vital spheres of life. Giving too much rope to children is definitely not a good idea but restricting their interactions with the outer world isn’t better, so trying to find balance between these two extremes is a way to create a proper atmosphere for consistent development.
