So what can worried parents do to help their kids manage the technological world in which they find themselves?
1. Teach Them How To Stay Safe
2. Teach Them About The Importance Of Face-to-Face Conversations
3. Teach Them To Use Technology For Reflection
What exactly does that mean though? Essentially, it means technology is also a tool. It’s something that we can all use to come up with new things. Just like a painting set can be used to make art, technology can be used to make games, apps, and music. Children who learn to understand the language of technology will put themselves at a distinct advantage in the future.
What’s more, the ability to master the digital space also helps children develop their self-worth. The knowledge that they’ve mastered a particular field of endeavour gives them greater confidence and resilience.
