HELPING CHILDREN WITH INTERNET BULLYING AND INTERNET ABUSE
Many parents want to help their children with problems related to cyberbullying, cyberbullying or digital abuse. The prospect of trying to solve an internet problem may seem daunting to parents, as keeping up with the growing list of social networks in which their children participate is proving to be a particularly difficult task. In cases where parents are not familiar with the full range of possibilities provided by the internet, as a result of which they do not fully understand their children's online activities, they are likely to end up feeling helpless and desperate. This section addresses some of the most common difficulties faced by parents in cyberbullying and digital abuse and looks forward to providing you with step-by-step instructions to ensure that you enable your child to develop a safe and healthy relationship. with the internet.
THE VIEWPOINT OF CHILDREN / TEENAGERS:
WHY ARE THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL NETWORKS SO IMPORTANT FOR TEENAGERS?
Young people use the internet for a variety of reasons. Some people use it as a means of escaping from reality - they believe that once they enter the digital world, they can be their authentic self and express themselves accordingly. Others use social media as a mask, behind which they hide their insecurities and worries. Be that as it may, they invest a lot of time and emotion in their digital profiles and that is why anything said about them on the internet can have a powerful effect - either positively or negatively.
WOULD THEY COME TO YOU IF THEY WERE DEALING WITH A PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET OR - MORE RIGHT - COULD THEY COME TO YOU?
It is important to ensure that your child knows that you will be there for them, especially when they are experiencing such problems. If a child or teen thinks their parents will not understand what they are going through or if they think their parents may restrict their internet access or delete their social media accounts, they are unlikely to come to you when face problems or concerns of this nature. Without the help and support they need, they risk being isolated and hiding what is happening to them - which can lead to other symptoms such as depression, anxiety, social isolation and poor school performance. Problems of this kind affect virtually every aspect of a child's life.
DEVELOP A DIGITAL RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER
Try to maintain a good communication relationship with your child in general. This will give you the opportunity to see the digital world through your child's eyes while at the same time laying the groundwork for your child to feel comfortable coming to you when they need help and support. Adopt the .open door¨ approach, encouraging your child to talk openly to you about issues that concern them, without criticizing them. Even if it is something that you can not solve yourself, you can certainly support, advise and assist your child, finding the most appropriate solution to the issue that concerns him.
