Do you think it is important to have parental controls on your internet, TV, etc. so your children don’t accidentally stumble upon undesirable wesbites/shows? Or do you think you should just monitor what they do?
So far, I haven’t formally added any controls. My daughters do log on to some girly websites and I hang around and sneak at the monitor every now and then. They aren’t too much into TV yet and they kinda stick to PBS Sprout even now so that’s not too much of a concern to me.
Very very extremely important. you can't let your kid watching what ever he wants. until he is 16 i think you as a parent should supervise on her leisure time near the TV and the internet. There is so much trash on tv and over the internet that can do damage to our children. We as the parents need to know what our children are watching and listening to all the time.
The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world.
But that access can also pose hazards. For example, an 8-year-old might do an online search for "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke, the word "Legs" is entered instead, and the child may be directed to a slew of websites with a focus on legs — some of which may contain pornographic material.
That's why it's important to be aware of what your kids see and hear on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online.
Just like any safety issue, it's wise to talk with your kids about your concerns, take advantage of resources to protect them, and keep a close eye on their activities.
I think its practically not feasible ....i am not pessimistic but i know what our technology can do....its not the same generation what it was it before ..we are in 21st century and i feel that parental control is not so fruitful UNLESS parents teach their kid with a good "sanskaar"....i hope u all know what is called
"sanskaar".
