A Powerful Influence
There can be no doubt at all that the Internet has made a huge difference to our lives. Parents are worried that children spend too much time playing on the Internet, hardly
1
doing anything else in their spare time. Naturally, parents are
2
to find out why the Internet is so attractive, and they want to know if it can be
3
for their children. Should parents worry if their children are spending that much time
4
their computers
Obviously, if children are bent over their computers for hours, absorbed
5
some game, instead of doing their homework, then something is wrong. Parents and children could decide how much use the child should
6
use of the Internet, and the child should give his or her
7
that it won"t interfere with homework. If the child is not
8
to this arrangement, the parent can take more drastic
9
dealing with a child"s use of the Internet is not much different from
10
any other soft of bargain about behaviour.
Any parent who is
11
alarmed about a child"s behaviour should make an appointment to
12
the matter with a teacher. Spending time in front of the screen does not necessarily
13
a child"s performance at school. Even if a child is
14
crazy about using the Internet, he or she is probably just
15
through a phase, and in a few months there will be something else to worry about!
