Parents switch off Web to punish kids.
To get Kids focus more time on families bonding!
TV and Internet are both favourites of children .
New York:
No!
TV for a week, the time-honoured punishment for misbehaving children, has been enhanced.
Now,
parents are also withholding Internet access to punish their kids, further sign that the Web has become as important to families as television.
As the two media converge, parents are quickly coming to see TV and the Internet in similar ways and are seeking to limit their kids' access to both, according to a report out this week from researchers at the University of Southern California.
The survey from the USC Annenberg Centre for the Digital Future found that two-thirds of parents say they restrict their kids' access to TV as punishment, a number that has barely budged over the past 10 years. But the percentage of parents who limit Internet access as a form of punishment has nearly doubled in the last decade.
Among parents surveyed this spring, 57 per cent said they withheld Web access to punish their kids. That is up from 32 per cent in 2000.
Michael Gilbert, a senior fellow at the centre, said parents are starting to not see a big distinction between TV watching and Internet use. Even so, parents are still more comfortable with the amount of time kids spend on the Internet — 71 per cent said it was "just about right" compared with just 51 per cent for TV.
Earlier surveys by the centre have shown that families are spending less time together than they used to, a decline that has coincided with the explosive growth of social networks in the past few years.
Now, parents are saying Internet access at home is also reducing the time their children spend with their friends face-to-face. Gilbert called this a worrisome trend, though noted that the number of parents to report this is still small — 11 per cent in 2010 compared with 7 per cent in 2000.
Wise decision,
Better late then never b4
they lost in the world of Cibers!!!
