Online Education – Negative Effects for Kids

Both lockdown and unlock have brought people to digital platforms. The situation has also become such that it is no longer possible to walk without a digital platform in the future. Online Education is no exception.


As a result, the Internet has become a significant concern for parents these days. At present, the screen time of children on digital platforms is an average of 6 to 7 hours, and the screen time for entertainment is an average of 2 to 3 hours. It is challenging for parents to keep an eye on the digital tasks for an average of 8 to 10 hours behind a child.


One more concern for parents is that their children's study activities are on the Internet. Will our children get caught in the internet trap? Simultaneously, if we keep children aloof from the Internet, it can significantly impact their studies. 


If we give them internet loneliness, they will not fall into the Internet trap, will they? What is the child doing on the mobile, what kind of person's call message is coming? Many such concerns plague parents today.


It can be dangerous for every user if care is not taken while using the Internet. But children and adolescents, in particular, have been the biggest victims.


Children may inadvertently send their parents' information to a third party while accessing the Internet, Unknowingly downloads malware and loses control of your computer or Mobile,

In particular, research so far has found that cybercriminals upload whatever data they want to lure children online. Its victims are today's children and youth.


However, it is also affecting their parents. Parents of children and young people who are always online are again living under constant fear. In this situation, everyone needs to be very careful.


To make your children aware of such attacks, you need to teach them cyber awareness lessons not to fall prey to cyber-attacks.


Let us learn about some of these cyber-attacks today and inspire our children to become future cyber warriors.


Cyberbullying


45 out of every 100 children are victims of cyberbullying. It makes a huge difference in the behavior of children. A 2019 survey found that about 60 percent of children using social media experienced cyberbullying in different ways. Cyberbullying involves the gathering of friends on social media to make fun of a particular child.


The effect is also seen in the child's brain and behavior. The best way to prevent cyberbullying is to talk openly with your children about what's going on in their lives online and in real-life. It is also essential to keep an eye on your child's online social media group, discussions, and other mobile activities.

Cyber Predators


Cyber predators are interpreted as predators of the digital world. Cyber hunters use "Let's play a game" to get in touch by sending notifications to children online. Then make friends with the children and try to know their needs and problem. The needs of children are also catered for by cyber hunters if possible.


After winning the trust of the children, complete information is collected from their parents and others. Through which the innocence of children is taken advantage of by hunters. Sometimes the child considers such invisible persons to be more important than the parents. When the time comes, these people lure children into the Internet and make them do inappropriate work.


It also grabs children's or parents' money: this e-hunter monitor's explicitly social media and gaming platforms. Parents need to keep an eye on where their child is playing with an online gamer. Online games can be dealt with only those who are familiar gamers.


Information from the Public Domain


Kids still don't understand the boundaries of social media. They post personally identifiable information online, such as their photos, mobile number, date of birth, likes and dislikes, plans, pictures of any celebration, etc. All social media companies have a specific age limit for their users.


However, when it is not complied with, cybercriminals obtain child personal information from the public domain and engage in child pornography based on it, showing children their morph photos and making unreasonable demands on them.


Sometimes children hide all this from their parents and suffer at an early age. In particular, parents should be allowed to open an account on social media based on the specific age limit set by the social media companies for their users.


Involve Children for Posting Abusive Comments


Children are lured by cybercriminals, under which the child is suggested to write a rude comment on a particular person's post and is also given a specific benefit for it. Still, the Internet does not have a "delete key".


Things that are posted online stay online forever, so when your child posts something online, it is almost impossible to remove it from the Internet even after deleting it from that portal.


As a result, parents must pay attention to all the comments posted by their children and advise children to stay away from strangers and accept the same friend requests on social media that we know face to face.


Send Malware via Link


Malware is computer software, which is installed without the user's Permission and performs harmful actions on the computer and the Mobile. Through which personal information is stolen.


Cybercriminals contact children and transmit malware through children in children's friends and family groups. Children fall prey to cybercriminals in the slightest temptation, resulting in friends and family trusting the information transmitted by children.


Thus, cybercriminals are spreading malware to the computers and mobiles of most people in society and carrying out cyber-attacks on innocent people; the child's link must always be adequately investigated by the parents the digital footprint of the link should be prepared.


The school-college is closed for fear of Corona's transition as every child's study is online. But a survey has found that about 79 percent of the country's children are studying with a smartphone. Only 17 percent of children use a computer or laptop for online study.


About 60 percent of children are devoting one to four hours a day to study online. At the same time, 31 percent of children are devoting 4-8 hours to online study. Throughout this process, their online stay time has steadily increased.


Zoom, Google Team, Telegram, and WhatsApp have become the most popular medium for Online Education and File Sharing. Simultaneously, psychiatrists warn that spending too much time online can lead to behavioral problems in children.


The study, conducted on 10,000 students in about 400 cities, found that nearly one-third of children studied on their school's online system said to be the best of the existing options in terms of security. At the same time, online flaws are also beginning to appear.


According to the survey, 31 percent of students are having trouble concentrating during online classes. So 12 percent of the students said that they could not correctly share the problems encountered during the online course with their teachers, and their issues could not be solved.

The disadvantages of having more Online Education

 

Online Education is a new system; we have to accept it. But keep in mind that spending too much time online can lead to mental health problems in children. Being online for more than three hours a day seems to affect their contact with real life.


Kids seem to be lost in the virtual world. Their confidence in everyday life seems to be declining. They will always feel like emptiness and find solutions to their virtual world problems instead of their parents or friends.


According to a doctor, spending more time online classes reduces physical activity. Prolonged sitting can lead to back pain. This situation can cause irritability in children. Playing time may be reduced. So that social interactions do not develop in them, and they may remain lost in themselves.
