necessary, Pearl recommends that parents sit with children so that
children feel encouraged, and parents also felt confident, what are the
things children are safe.
That children are not fun in the virtual world, always connect the child's interest for computer play with everyday life. For example, if he loves the game animals in a game, invite he also visited the zoo or keep animals in the house. Or
if he likes the game the police or the army in the computer, take it
occasionally interact with real police officer or soldier.

that will make kids want to keep socializing with the environment and
not just focus on the game on the computer / internet. Parents

bike, or gardening.

parents certainly do not continuously be in front of the computer,
continuously playing computer games, constantly surfing the internet, or
are constantly busy with his Blackberry indefinitely. Children learn by imitating, you know! If you saw a parent can do all that without limits, he will do the same.

certain characters, the opportunity to not be yourself, pretend strong,
powerful, or find new friends without having to meet face to face - all
that could be a very enjoyable occasion, especially for the shy or less confident children.
