Snakes and spiders: 😅 😂 🤣
But honestly, what a beautiful example you provided for an ideal setting, just begging to be applied to the context of Inernet dangers. One where kids know exactly about bullying, body-shaming, and cyber-violence, AND know how to react to it. They'd use it to exemplify the undesirable, and stick together to keep each other from becoming victims to it. They were probably shown by their parents, aunts, neighbors, teachers, friends' parents, etc. until they have become so good at it that they teach their younger peers. Oh, what a lovely ideal setting.
Back to reality, I have to agree with @tarazkp that most parents are too busy and unaware. And yes, I take his word for it, after reading several of his post where he discusses the challenges of parenting, even in a socially friendly place, like the one he lives in. Not being a parent myself, I can only respect this.
Still, the idea of surrendering to some ginormous entity far away just rubs me the wrong way, no matter if it's the government or a tech company.
I totally agree with you. I'm always about balance so can definitely see both sides... I think someone has to do away with the power tech companies have, and I don't think kids should be online the way they are... So I also think this really isn't a bad rule especially coz we don't allow kids to drink etc. idk. We will see.
This may drift into another topic but after writing my comment yesterday, I kept thinking about how the biggest problem mentioned is that parents have no time for their kids. And then there is the question being raised a lot these days, as to how people would spend their time if IA took all our jobs? Well, teaching our children seems like an obvious answer. And here I would probably even include each other's children, as well as grown adults, who may need some nice care and attention.
