Mass Media, Technology, and Mental Development of Children

The last days of this, we almost can not be separated from the frenetic news porn video scandal has spread like an artist who is free on the internet. Regardless of any criticism or news that flashed on the artists involved, we do need to be concerned that the spread of recording, already accessible to the various groups, including children. Even long before the furor this video appeared, we still remember the spread of video footage of sex also former officials, students, dressed artists, and much more.

Everything is an activity that tends taboo in the culture of our society, especially for children. And can not be denied, the case involving these famous artists to the attention of public and government are quite large because they are public figures, so it makes more among those who tend to want to know what was in the media.

We have to admit, in this modern era of the all, the dissemination of any information, whether positive or negative, relatively difficult to avoid, as well as information that should be reserved for adults who are physically and mentally ready to receive the information. Moreover, development of the Internet and devices are getting cheaper and increasingly we need for daily activities, allowing easier access.

Certainly will not be effective if we as parents, simply banning child and scold us when we find him consuming adult classified information, either through the internet, mobile phones, televisions or other technological tools, because it will bring up a great curiosity in children , and ultimately, will be easily tempted to find out in real practice, as most reported so far in various media.

Therefore, the key to protect our baby from the negative impact of technological advances, while we are able to maximize the positive aspects of these technologies, is COMMUNICATION. Like any relationship whatever it is, including the relationship between husband and wife, COMMUNICATION is the most effective means of providing feedback to each other, understand each other, providing mutual understanding, and learning from each other in achieving a win-win solution in every problem whatsoever.

Angry, forced, forbid, punish, or other emotional action, tends to increase feelings of anxiety and the desire to rebel in children, which ultimately, will be difficult for parents in the planting of appropriate values​​.

Communication between parent-child well-established (that is, children feel comfortable every time communicating with parents, rather than depressed or afraid), would be much more effective way to instill values ​​than external factors. Only when the child does not feel comfortable when he was at home, that is when external factors (friends, media, etc.) have a significant influence.

So, how effective air-COMMUNICATION child to easily grasp the meaning intended parents?
