(Presentation of the influence of high media consumption for children)

Summary | Children are using new media earlier than ever. The internet is not a playground - violent and sexually explicit material can be easily found online. If children use new media too much, they can become psychologically addicted or get bad posture, become overweight, or get headaches. While there are many benefits of the internet, there are also many dangers. Boys are more drawn toward online games and girls are more at risk to become addicted to communication on social media.

Ärger mit vermeintlich kostenfreien Apps
(Trouble with supposedly free apps)

Summary | Parents need to be warned about the hidden costs of supposedly free games. They are hugely popular among children and youths and free at first, like drugs where the first dose is often free, and then they get very expensive very quickly. Experts discourage parents from sharing their credit card information with their children. Addiction experts also advise parents to set up rules of smartphone usage with their children and enforce them - that is the only way how we can keep ourselves from getting addicted to our smartphones in a world of constant availability: by setting the limits ourselves.

Topic Tags | addiction, childhood, school, threat
Summary | Contemporary childhood is strongly influenced by new media. Many children get a smartphone from an early age and spend their free time in group chats where they can talk to their friends unsupervised by parents. Many schools already integrade new technologies into their classes. Children also have a harder time learning about the value of money because so much is paid for digitally. Parents need to talk to their children about the dangers lurking from strangers online.
