The risks and rewards of limiting children’s online activity

Abstract

The debate on whether parents should limit their children's internet access continues. The internet can provide educational resources and entertainment for children, but it can also expose them to inappropriate content and dangerous situations. Some argue that parents should limit their children's internet access to protect them, while others claim that it can hinder their development and learning. Experts recommend that parents take an active role in their children's online activities, regardless of whether or not they limit their access. Parents can set rules, discuss potential risks, monitor their online activity, and educate their children about responsible internet use to help them navigate the digital world safely.
