Helping children to become wise as well as understanding

Electronic access to online media is constantly changing. New technologies bring unique and unprecedented danger and risks to children. The Holy Bible states “Wisdom is for a protection the same as money is for a protection (Ecclesiastes 7:12) – “You can get anything by either wisdom or money, but being wise has many advantages.” Helping children to become wise as well as understanding how to avoid the dangers of surfing online is imperative.

The Internet should not be a tool to threaten and endanger the safety of anyone, let alone…children. Having a basic understanding of how the Internet works and the utilization of instant messaging, web page browsing, or the engagement of other online activities; do not certify one to be too old or uneducated to learn. Children that have access to the Net do need adult supervision. Parents really need to keep up with Internet trends and technology. Parents need to remember – many young people gain access to the Cloud via cell phones, video gaming consoles, and other handheld devices.
