✔️This issue has two dimensions. The first is for families to share their children on social media, and the other is for children and adolescents to create their own accounts and use social media. What about risk? I think both dimensions have their risky sides.
✔️ Although one aspect of families sharing their children on social media is to be approved and appreciated, I think the risky part is that they cannot cope with the feelings of competition-envy and use their children as a tool.
Look how smart I have a child, look at what we see as the documents he received. Seeing this, other families lost themselves and turned to their children and said, ‘Look, do you see that you are appreciated again?’ to say, to compare their children, to make their children feel even more inadequate in the already competitive education system.
Of course, we can share our child’s success and good sides, but deciphering it without limits poses a risk both for that child and for other children.
Again, one aspect of the sharing of families is that they share their children’s underwear or roughly intimacy with the defense of ‘we share our natural states’, and the unlimited sharing of the beach conditions of their children, especially those who experience physical changes near puberty, both damage the child’s sense of privacy and are popular on social media. causes risky people to see.
If our child opens his skirt while walking on the street, we don’t hesitate to share a photo of him when we say ‘what are you doing, girl’. We are confusing our child.
✔️There is also a group of mothers who buy and stamp their child on social media, take their photo and share it, actually saying ‘look, this beauty is my work’. Mothers who videotaped every aspect of their child. You know, when we go to the concert, we can’t watch the concert without a phone, we prove that we are at the concert at that moment, or like this, some mothers watch their children grow up on the screen, as if proving that ‘this child is mine’. Unfortunately, they are not few, they are many. They cannot go beyond accumulating memories and create memories. I’m calling out to those mothers from here;) ‘If you put that phone aside, for example, you play hide and seek and none of us know about it.
✔️ let’s come to our children. Now they have fun not by playing games on the tablet, but by watching youtube channels. They can watch the videos shot by the family of a child of their own age and turn around and say to you, ‘You should open a channel for me too’.
Then what do we say, ‘what is missing, let’s open it to you, please don’t stay’, we are not satisfied and we send news to our friends, we opened a channel, what if you follow it even if you don’t get hurt? The subject of ‘don’t stay in it’ affects me deeply. Let it be inside our child, otherwise how will he dream, how will he be motivated??
✔️ just like us, they are trying to be like us, they are trying to exist on social media. However, the situation is different, perverted people who see our child’s profile can reach our child and put our child at risk.
So why; Our child sees the limitlessness in our relationships and the limitlessness in social media, gets used to it and normalizes it. The foundations of the concept of privacy are laid in childhood, so we as parents have a great responsibility.
❌ Let’s not forget that a child who does not know privacy becomes more vulnerable to abuse? ‼️
