The psychologist advised parents to negotiate with their children about digital control

Parents should agree with their children about installing digital controls, otherwise the child will stop trusting them. Natalia Naumova, a child psychologist, told about this on October 21.

"It is important to coordinate digital control with the child, because children are very well versed in technical processes — much better, often than their parents. And they know how to circumvent control and prevent surveillance," Naumova told Gazeta.Ru».

According to the expert, children, realizing that their parents are watching, form defenses and stop trusting, trying to deceive. There is a high probability that the child will not tell his parents that he has fallen into the hands of scammers or about other problems.

According to Naumova, it is possible to avoid loss of trust only if you convey to the child the idea that control over gadgets is necessary. With an agreement between children and parents about this, trust between family members will remain and many problems will be avoided.

The expert added that it is important to treat the child carefully and carefully — to talk more, to explain the risks. The parent should also teach the child to protect himself on his own.
