The age of the turkey, in digital

Sara, of 13 years, this snouts with their parents. It feels itself the victim of an injustice. In spite of their good grades, have decided to confiscating the mobile at 11 of the night, after pillarla whatsappeando in bed in the morning. At the beginning, protested, cried out, blackmail. Now, it is she who shoots it very worthy the phone to his mother, author of this story, before announcing, which area heading to the gallows, that goes to bed. Sara was, says her mother, "a lovely baby". A girl smiling, loving and always willing to do anything. Until, suddenly, Muto in the girl "contestona, indolent and allergic to the effusions" to describe their parents today. A teen book.

Irene, being digital native, has had to migrate from the PC to the mobile. Sara, is native movildigital pure. The age of the turkey was always difficult, but the new digital turkey has disoriented to many parents, such as those of Sara, they bought the mobile to their children to get them more controlled, and have finished with their children located, yes, but abducted by a screen that they do not know very well that they do or with whom.

"You are giving them a BMW and them wrestle you aloft alone, without meat or insurance. Your children are digital, and as you do not, you renounce to control them and give you rules. Not worth it. Give it a tool, you have to know it. If you care for know who are your friends in real life, do it also in the digital". Esther Aren, chief inspector of the unity of Citizen Participation of the Police, uses a style deliberately provocative to warn parents about the risks of the Internet and social networking at conferences such as that provided in the Institute today Damaso Alonso de Madrid, invited by the address and the AMPA receptors of the center.

Jesus Pernas, of 48 years, director of the public school of the Holy la Humosa (Madrid), father of a 14-year-old boy, and a networking consultant and minors, has a different vision. "If the police have to come to my school, that's bad for you I'm doing as an educator, and as a father," he explains. "What is amazing is that the Internet and the networks are not present in the school curriculum from primary, when occupying 99% of his free time," deplores. Pernas does not agree with the recommendation of Aren to spy on the children. "Hoot and threaten them is criminalizarles, acknowledge our failure and invite them to lie. They are looking for on the network the same way we did at his age: the love, the reaffirmation, the emotion. A boy is often on the network as it is in real life. No longer feel children, are in a moment of search, they have to determine its path. That is where they have to be parents. That is the true abyss, the digital divide is an excuse. Parents today we are the generation XXL: comes to us all big. There is that you get with your son and share her fear. A emotional work. If you conquest in real life, you'll have in the digital. What is not worth taking away the mobile. It is not the future but the present".
