As children go online more frequently, they spend less and less time with the family. They spend more time listening to the advice of strangers and ignoring the wisdom of parents. Children need the guidance of parents. Parenting is hard work, it is not an easy job.
Ultimately, children will encounter immoral acts, may even be pressured to participate in these, and become the target of a predator. While most parents are unwilling to admit this will happen in their own family, it is time to accept the reality. Many parents reveal that by the time children have reached their tweens they are texting, on social media, and video gaming at all hours day and night. Tweens are growing more and more agitated when away from their devices. They grow addicted to the virtual world and withdrawn from the real world.
The lack of empathy is another growing concern in the world. Compassion for others is overridden by the desire to please ourselves. Children become exposed to violence, sexual acts, and displays of illegal activity. Glamorizing the world of rebellion, a world where anything goes, where the device is more convenient and more valuable than parental interaction is taking its toll on families and society.
