Many of us are not parents yet. But all of us have been a child once in our lives. Now as today's topic for the contest is about kids' privacy. If I'm not wrong, previously I wrote something similar. But I guess it wasn't completely this. Enough talking. I personally think that the privacy of children is a very debated topic and it could go either way, considering each child has their own sense of direction and everyone grows differently. Each child understands the world and how it works at their own time. So everyone would require guidance which compliments their growth. So the short answer will be to cater every child differently. But obviously everyone has their opinions and we haven't been parents yet so our opinions will be conflicted and will be a little biased on what we've seen in our childhood.
But let's get some ground realities out of the way. The world today is a lot more available and easy to reach than ever before. Thanks to the inventions of technology like mobile phones, internet, computers. Information has become accessible far too easily than ever before. So compared to when we were kids, today's kids have access to more information and more types of information than we ever had. Now let me give you an example. Say there were two kids. One of them has $10,000 and the other has $10. All the money is given to them by you. So would you be worried about the kid who has 10,000 of your hard earned money or the kid who has $10? You will obviously be more over worried about the $10,000. That kid has exposure to more stuff than the other. So what happens is he will get more funny ideas to do with that property. Some of these funny ideas can be harmless and some of these can be problematic. And that is where the new question arises where we discuss, how much privacy should the kids of today be given? So my answer to that question will be that today's kids will obviously require more surveillance than kids of the previous generation because they have access to technology that can potentially lead them to things that we don't want to talk about. They are harmful to them. Now. The kids won't know what's good or what's bad for them or else they would just be adults. So it is our duty to put a fine fine line on where to stop the surveillance. And to which point do we continue the surveillance. I guess kids are entitled to these modern technologies as it is imperative that they learn the world and the way the world operates today to keep themselves updated and to have a better shot on a better life. But the parents should from time to time check in some way or for that is not invasive, what their children are doing and what they are consuming. These can be done in a friendly manner and there is completely no need for hostile measures.
Yes, kids do deserve their share of privacy. Or else they will feel suffocated. They should be allowed to do stuff on their own. It is good for their own growth and mental health. But at the same time the parents should establish some sort of connection with the child with regards to his own safety.
