TEENAGERS, PARENTS AND THE INTERNET- NOW, NOW, THERE ' S NO NEED TO FIGHT!
To most parents the Internet can be regarded as a foreign country. It is safe to assume that they would happily continue living their lives without using or engaging with it.
Conversely such a concept would be totally alien to a young person( 12 to 24 year olds). For them life without the Internet … it ' s just not living!
You can demonstrate this by asking a young person: How many times a day do they check their messages? Don ' t be surprised at the answer.
In 2014 a survey performed by consulting group Deloitte produced the following figures 18 to 24-year-olds check their device on average 53 times a day, and for 13 % the figure is more than 100 times. In comparison 65 to 75-year-olds check their device 13 times a day on average and for 56 % it is less than 10 times.
So parents be warned, the habits of young people are
not likely to change. But where do we go next? How can parents regain control of the situation?
Children ' s cyber behavior needs to be viewed in a bigger social context. What children are doing online today is simply an extension of what they used to do in the real world. In the past, kids often wandered the streets( or woods and fields) with relative freedom, and used that time to explore boundaries and congregate with friends. But now this has been curtailed by protective parents, children roam in cyber space instead.
As a teacher of technology I have certainly noticed the change of attitudes with regard to the use of phones in schools. At first smartphones were treated with fear and suspicion- now teachers are trying to use them as a tool to enhance teaching and learning within the classroom.
Here ' s a naive thought- the more time children use phones in school then the less time they use them at home!
