As subscribers you all know that "Saint Nexusisus" Mission is to fight the good fight against Cyber Bullying and Identity Theft empowering its victims. However, are there precautions and preventative measures that parents can make to protect their children from the dangers of the web-wide world known as Cyber Space.
What do parents consider when purchasing their pubescent children electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets, and online virtual reality gaming? Are parents responsibly monitoring their pubescent children and teens content usage, and how much time they are allotted daily?
Has our own dependency to the Internet, texting, and social media sites cultivated an environment that our children feel lost to due to our own Internet habits?
Are our children turning to expensive electronic devices that we have purchased them due to our own lack of emotional, and physical interaction with them? Could this phenomenon be attributed to us wanting to indulge our own Internet addictions? As parents are we habitually checking our own devices when we are supposed to be enjoying quality time with our children during dinner, family outings, or when they are simply trying to get our attention? Do we prefer to interact with online strangers rather than interact with our children, spouses, and family members?
I strongly feel that it is our own Internet habits which will dictate as to how dependent our children will become to their electronic devices in the future. Will they choose devices over creating real relationships between themselves and others? Is it due to the amount of time we spend sharing our own lives on social media sites such as Face book, and Instagram as to why our children are becoming fatally traumatized by cyber bullying?
Has our online social media sharing resulted in our children forming emotional complexes? And, if so is what fellow account users post, comment on, critique, discuss with peers, and share publicly more relevant than what they know to be true? Does social media encourage not only our children, but us all to become dishonest about who we really are outside of social media? Has social media caused us to actually create false facades, and embellish our lives to hide who we all really are, or give us all a sense of self-importance?
These are questions for parents to reflect upon. Our children are crying out for help within a society that is viewing, and living their lives through electronic devices. Who are choosing to ignore what is actually occurring in reality. I think it's time for us to all take a sober look at how the Internet, and social media has affected our interactions with our children, spouses, family members, friends, and even the quality of our work ethics.
