With access to the internet and social media websites, many children are exposed to a number of dangerous situations. Adults should thus limit access to the internet for their children. Do you agree or disagree?

Online and social media

platforms

play a significant role in the young generation's lives.

Thus

the impact of these websites is treacherous. I believe that limiting access to these websites especially, the use of smartphones, will help the seniors to have control over their

children

. In a survey of

children

's online behaviour, approximately 90% of them uses the internet and more than half of them are witnessing some form of bullying, falling for random scams, accidentally downloading malicious software and so on. These online

platforms

pose serious dangers to youngsters.

Furthermore

, it affects their health, sleep patterns, and school performance. Most of the time,

children

are not aware of the online

activities

and the illegal

activities

that are shared while they are busy playing games, sharing posts and comments on social media, etc. They fall for the gambling prices

such

as offers or new levels in order to play for one more time.

This

results in the retrieving of the payment information without the knowledge of parents. I believe that parents should be actively involved in their child's digital and day-to-day lives and communicate openly. Since the social media

platforms

keep on changing over time, it will be a good idea if the seniors are up-to-date with the

platforms

their child uses. Adults can plan media-free meals together and engage their

children

in family

activities

,

such

as sports, reading, and talking with each other. To conclude, I consider that even if the internet can be wonderful for the kids, taking an active role in their online

activities

might help to ensure that they benefit from them without being exposed to the potential dangers.

Therefore

, limiting their access to

such

websites is the right step for the parents.
