In an increasingly virtual world, millions of people relate to others only through Internet. How are starting to live the children of today?
Over the Internet, social networks are taking over the minds of humans. While there are people whose lives revolve around real experiences and emotional encounters irreplaceable moments, some spend more time exchanging information and creating new virtual friends, fueling a range of experiences that most are part of a fantasy, an illusion or a world ideal, which sometimes is very far from the real world. Unknown friends and chat with strangers, all this seems to be the day to day for some people to spend an hour on a computer is not enough. Some may last for days and nights. But enough has been said of this disturbing reality, and try to change the lifestyle of these people seems to be a difficult task. But why not use a pedagogy that show the children a way of life much more experiential and human?
Despite being considered digital natives, ie born in the era of technological and communication and therefore have developed technological capabilities sometimes better than their parents do not stop childhood.
How this interest is the Internet? Children may feel curious know how this virtual world because they constantly hear the comments they make their own parents, older siblings and reaching to hear news from afar. Moreover, these tools create the aforementioned applications in their portals that attract the interest of children: games, virtual gifts, an option to publish and comment on photos of other people, all this occurs in under a fascination which increases with time to know, by the same media, more and more friends. And finally, another reason why children are becoming increasingly interested in social networks is that there is some competition between them to have as many friends, showing greater interaction with the tools and belong to as many groups showing the fanaticism taste or musical artists, TV shows or lifestyle.
The work of parents is crucial to this virtual portal at the same time offers a lot of opportunities, we also encounter many dangers, privacy control, as a communication channel who are able to communicate with our children ... etc. Given this fact is where parents act. A first step might be to constantly show the children the other options of life in favor of human relationships. Allowing more time to play with friends and neighbors (without ignoring the mechanisms of care). This can generate a great pleasure in them to exchange information through the traditional means of communication: face to face. Added to this, it is necessary to exert some control over time and type of information that children see on the Internet, and being for social networks, monitor who they relate to our children, how they do and what time they prefer to do. Children generally should not have more friends they have not created many social groups to ensure this and also should not have as friends people much older than them.
is impossible to deny the technology boom and the increase of people who adhere to the minute to social networks. However, children should not waste one of the most important and wonderful stage of life inside a computer many hours a day. Is then in their parents encourage their children to live and experience the ease and warmth that can only be viewed in relation to the environment and people in ways more human communication.
