HOW TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE ONLINE FROM BLUE WHALE GAME
“Blue Whale is not a game but danger and once entered, you can never exit”
Hi,, Friends, today am going to post about the blue whaale gamme and ways to avoid this game.
Here are 10 tips in a Unicef India report on how you can keep your child safe:
1. Having correct information about an issue is extremely important. The media reports on this issue do not make it clear that the role of this game/challenge in the recent cases of suicide has not been verified yet. Your child probably knows about the Blue Whale Challenge because of the media frenzy around this issue.
Having said that, due to the uncertainty around this issue, there is a need to take certain measures to inform children and interact with them to avoid any mishaps.
2. Make sure that your child has access to age appropriate online sites which do not promote unethical behaviour or violence.
3. Always ensure that your child accesses the internet from a computer placed in the family space.
4. Talk to your child more often. Explore the online world together and engage in interesting activities demonstrating ethical and safe online behaviour.
5. Use parental controls on all the devices used by your child. Monitor the screen time and keep an eye on his/her online activities.
6. Be a role model to your child. Be conscious of your own online activities.
7. Talk to other parents, share concerns if any and discuss best ways to help your children.
8. Keep yourself updated with recent internet phenomena.
9. Observe your child’s behaviour closely. Be alert to any unusual changes like moodiness, less or no communication, lack of interest in studies and falling grades. If you notice any such changes, closely monitor his/her online activities, talk to school authorities or consult a child psychologist.
10. If you find out that your child is already playing the Blue Whale Challenge, immediately stop him/her from using the internet from any devices.
With these tips, you can keep your pals safe from many online dangers.
