Internet if properly used is very useful, but if kids get exposed to internet at young age it's very difficult to restrict them to make good use of internet as we do see many kids already exposed to internet are even watching movies online of their choice.It has really become worse in some kids as it has become an severe addiction sort off at this very young age which is really disturbing for sure.Parents should take initiative measures to stop all these or at least restrict this to certain fixed time

You're very right. There are so many kids who are addicted to the internet. Watching movies online is much better than playing online games. Some kids no longer even sleep just to play those games online which is really bad. The parents should really set some rules because facing the computer for a long period of time is not good for the eyes.

Kids have become smarter than parents these day's as education level has increased and hence even parents do struggle sometimes while talking to their own kids as they seem to know much more than their parents.But still internet can spoil anyone if they don't learn to use it properly and sometimes i do feel children below a certain age should not be allowed to use internet also!

yes you are right.kids should be watched over very strictly for their online activities.these days many controversial information and adult movies are available on net that can misguide and mislead the teenagers and hence they spoil their life doing all wrong things.they should only be encouraged to fetch information from net about any particular subject and should strongly be discouraged to make it as a source of enjoyment for them.

Kids have to be controlled here as exposing to internet at very young age can be dangerous if they start doing wrong things as there are also many negative things happening in internet which might spoil anyone.So, beginning is very important here also.So, if children are dealt properly with proper knowledge of internet, they might use it to perfect way here which is always good

Kids' addiction toward technologies is not a new thing, though.. It already existed since the television era . And yeah, TV if properly used is very useful - Technologies overall if properly used are very useful :). First of all, be smarter than children about technologies. Don't let them fool you or something. I see a lot of parents aren't getting used to technologies while their children are more competent to use that.. And second, of course, keep monitor them and apply them some rules..

Children are quite smarter these days and i also agree to this here.But watching television and browsing internet are two different things and with internet, they are able to do more things than in just watching TV.Like in internet they can even download any movie they like and watch it for hours which is bad and parents should only apply break to such habits and teach their children on regulating this habits and use internet to proper use

That is true. Parents should take it as their responsibility. Shaping a child during his or her young years is much better than waiting until when it is too late.

It is difficult to restrict kids but it's not impossible. We should do everything we can to keep them away from PC. When I was a kid I had a healthy life, I used to go outside and play with my friends. Now half the kids I'm seing are overweight. Things were different on my days. We used to play a lot outside, we did not care about the TV because we had more interesting things to do outside like volleyball, badminton, hide and seek, riding bycicles etc

You have made this valid point and i just hope this will be noted by many parents around the world.As yous aid, these days children are looking overweight and all because of more exposure to TV, internet etc and they also don't play outside the house like in olden days and stick to staying inside the house playing games, etching TV, browsing etc which is really a bad trend as they don't get proper exercise like in olden days

Yes, you're right about what you wrote, it is so.. Parents should check what kids watch in internet, staying more time with them and not leaving alone for long time.

It is easy to do, especially when most people are subscribed to Netflix. They can watch whatever they want, whenever they want.

Internet is a good thing,but kids are too small to control themselves,use the internet properly, they can learn a lot of things. For example,good medicine is misused, it's a poison!
