Kids on Social Media, how can we monitor them.



The knowledge of man become wider and wider, the technology continued to modernization, the mind of man filled with things in this world on how to do new thing, what is to invent in the near future.



Today computer device are highly use, this are not for adult only, our young child also exposed in using computer. Not like us we know what we get in the internet, but the young one is not, they only knew is it is good feeling when you touch the high-tech computer.



When I first learned about the computer, I was wonder, in this computer you can learned everything, in just a tip of your finger you reach the world, it was a happy feeling that I first touch the computer keypad and began to play the game in it, I become curious in the net, then I surf and surf, I didn’t learned computer in the school, I learned it in the office, after office I open the computer then I play and surf because its prohibited to play during office hour. It’s a good feeling if you get the extra ordinary thing like computer at that old days, but now it’s not extra ordinary anymore.



Other kids is like me when I first learned the computer, today computer has many application now, many site that is not appropriate to our child, a highly informative, highly dangerous too for them. They can learn good thing, also a bad thing. Sometime, they get their action in the computer, we can’t blame them at their age they are still exploring, what we do is, monitor them, computer are very useful, others can’t live without this technology,




How to monitor our kids engaging in social media?



  • In facebook let’s add them as friend, in this way we can know their activity, their friend, their post, we can interact to them in chatting, by this also they become aware of their moves because they know you are watching.
  •  
  • In twitter we can do the same be follower of him or her, and any other social media, if you want to hide your identity you can change your name in this way you can monitor their activity without their knowledge.
  •  
  • One of my niece was leaving with me, he like to surf in the net, he is about 12 years old, I was wondered because there is a time when he use the computer he closed the door of computer room, what I do is, I open his computer, in computer, there is a archive that all the site you opened was store there, it is the history folder, I open it and I saw there is a porn site, further more when I open his video there is a unpleasant video of him. I didn’t confront him, I just delete the video and reset the history, it’s enough, when he find out what I do he will be aware of it already, the second time I do it, there no more like I found before.
  •  
  • Sometimes they become more knowledgeable in computer surfing, than us, you will amaze, how do they found it? it’s just, fine but they need guidance, sometime what they found in the web affect in their life, always check their laptop, the site they open if it not good, delete then explain to them about it. They are young like I say they are still exploring and this exploration affect their life, bad or good defend on how we guide them.



We become more and more modern, our tools become sophisticated, it became dangerous too, and it can ruin your life and change your life. Let’s use these modern tools for good, still leaving with God. He allowed everything not to forget Him but to praise and remember Him.
