Hello hivers and friends. What an awesome week for all of us, especially for good health.
And what an awesome topic from Hivelearners featured contents rounding up this week hl-w128e3. Its all in the hands of the parents and guardians.
Technology I have always said is the best thing that happened to this era called the 21st Century. And from here on, advancement will continue because there is no going back. For me the advantages we derive from the social media is greater than the disadvantages if we tell ourselves the truth.
As a parent I believe its in the hands of parents and guardian to censor what their children watch. Children here falls under the ages of 4years to 18 years when we believe our children turns into adulthoods. And from the age of 18 years, we only have to advise our children on what is right and wrong.
How can we then blame technology that has made things so easy for us and the children? How about the information we receive in a matter if minutes, the Facebook for businesses, LinkedIn , the YouTube that has enriched so many, Instagram, TikTok. All these are made possible by technology and the internet. How then should technology be blamed for our failure to monitor our children and censor what they watch?
Censorship is what the media can not offer us fully because this era is an era of so many exposures which most are educating while some are corrupting and this is where the parents/guardians has work to do as regards to censoring since most medias does not consider factors concerning age when releasing files to be viewed by the public which is a big problem.
As parents its our responsibilities to know when to step in to monitor what our children watch.because the society may not care. When my children were at a tender age, I usually have bundles from DSTV/GOTV that we subscribe to which strictly were for kids channels. This then made things so easy for us because I did not need to worry of what they are watching. And at this peak of the social media and how fast paced the internet has become, I am making sure to constantly advise my children, letting them know the implication of every step they take from what they watch because they are grown and can only be advised.
Sometimes as parents we are so engrossed in our daily activities like work, businesses, vocational, etc, that we don’t consider how important it is our responsibilities to monitor what our children watch or do. And apart from this, we need what we call quality time with our children because while having this quality time, we can bond and observe differences in their attitudes and behaviors. Children tends to confide in parents/guardians if they see you pay so much attention to them or what they do.
However, when we put interest to monitor what our children are watching , or constantly advising them with what they watch because they are grown, we tend to instill fear 😧 in them not to go overboard because sometimes peer pressure and groups try to push them into wrong steps without knowing the consequences of such actions. We should make them understand various factors as regards to children age and what to watch, adulthood and what they are watching , what sex is all about and its consequences and why they should not involve in watching some files. But for the younger once , its our responsibility, and we as parents/guardians are the only ones that has control to censoring our children 👦.
