RE: Content Creation and Consumption
We cannot control the development of technology and, more importantly, we cannot and should not control our children. As far as dealing with potentially harmful influences is concerned, I think it makes more sense to help children familiarise themselves with the technology and observe the effect it has on them than to strictly prevent it.
There's a fine line between controlling and teaching. I have never restricted my kids without reasoning and they almost always listen. If they retaliate, I sit back and let them have their way, so they can practically see what I was talking about. That said, every child is different and needs different treatment. My eldest always listens and the youngest sometimes have his way. I have never forced him for anything because I know his nature, he takes a little time, first he has to explore himself and then when he's ready he gives a shot to what others said. I think that's okay unless he's not in any potential danger (he's just 4).
As far as technology is concerned, you are right we should familiarize our kids with it but I strongly believe there's a time for everything.
