Beware of tech!
Right now, your children are learning from home under your watchful eye, hopefully. Your children need your positive advice about their use of technology. They need your help to set up technology appropriately and your interest in their online transactions. Have a conversation about how they must never contact strangers online. Children are naturally curious, but they should never go behind your back or watch videos of sensationalism.
There are health risks in viral challenges, such as "outlet challenge" where they put pennies into an electrical wall socket. They might try the "tripping jump" where three people line up and the middle person jumps while the others try to trip them causing them to fall. There is life-long damage if your children try the "fire challenge" where they spray themselves or another with nail polish remover and set on fire. There is the "shell on challenge" where your young people eat food items without removing the packaging. There is a "cinnamon challenge" and a "nutmeg challenge" where they ingest so much spice they either choke or are poisoned.
The real issue is to teach kids to safely thrive online if they chase viral shock-fads like MOMO which increasingly encourages evil, even to committing suicide.
Children of this age are so anxious to impress their peers that they choose danger without considering the consequences. They want to best their peers and siblings. They need your attention and will do anything to get it.
Give them your guidance and love.
