Child safety: what's the best way to warn about the risks??

 Today I’m going to talk about a piece of news that I’ve found in the “Guardian”. This news talks about how parents may explain to their children how to be safely.

I think this is a serious theme today, because of the entire social network that we have available.

Experts say different things about this like, children must always tell to their parents where and with who they are. So the communication with family is very important to keep safe the children.

 The best way to talk to young children or the best way to show the danger that they could be exposed is put them in different scenarios that thing that can happened. So they could be prepared, and most important they will know what it’s the right thing to do in different cases. Because the job of a parent is show their kids the right answers in this “scenarios”.

 But also is important that children don’t lose the desire to explore the environment, because they must learn how to sensibly assess risk. So is important that children have the opportunities to explore, but always knowing the dangers that could exist in that “explore”.

Why this piece of news is related to psychology? Because this theme is also related with the development of children and this is a very interesting area of my career. The way of how the parents communicate different things to their kids is very important for his development and evolution trough the life.

 That all for today, see you next class!
