Low level of computer literacy of parents is a serious problem

If you do not know how to protect yourself from Internet threats - you can not protect your children. According to statistics, 75% of parents consider themselves sufficiently competent in matters of child protection when working with a computer. Self-monitoring is an important aspect in shaping the child's behavior in the network. Adults should set an example of how to behave in the network, observe the established mode of using the computer, do not store information in the computer that is undesirable for children.
