Ladies and gentlemen, my question is question number 2.

Parents are supposed to


respect their sharing privacy, both virtual and real world. To what extent do you
agree or disagree with this field? And I will start now. So so today, let's tackle
one question that right at the heart of family life in the digital age.

That is how much privacy in both worlds, the real and the virtual, should parents
grant to their children? I guess the answer that if I now ask such a question to
parents, I will probably, like, get the response to, like, close to anything from,
you know, of course, these kids need their space to, you know, privacy. My kids
barely let me have a private moment in the bathroom. So let me say from the outset
that I I am not here to meditate any family feuds, but I rather do want to look at
both sides of these issues and why I think that, in the end, yes, parents should
respect their children's privacy, both worlds. Well, the idea of privacy has been
around since children's first start to speaking out of their bedroom or writing in
journals labeled, like, you know, private, do not read.

Like, to in today's world, it's a different bit different. Now we are not just,
like, talking about bathroom and journals. Now, full virtual world come into play
social media, you know, online gaming and, you know, chatting and, naturally, the
phone. Now, when we talk about privacy in both worlds, what we are actually talking
about is trust. As crazy as a sound, trust is at the foundation of this whole
conversation.

So trust your kids in real life tell you where they are going and with whom and
trust them online to make smart choices and stay safe. But let's be real, trust is
not something parents are ready to just pass out like Kenny on Halloween. It has to
be earned. And for kids, that can be frustrating, especially in those teen years,
when privacy feels like a basic human right. Let's say that parents want to check
their kid's phone for, you know, safety, and at this point, they will tell the kid
something like, it's just for your protection, your safety.

But come on, what's to say with that checking all the bad contacts? They won't
accidentally come upon those text messages or that picture that shouldn't have seen
the light of the day. And that's the way common sense gets complicated. So, you
know, kids start to feel that their privacy is being attacked and why parents are
only trying to make them safe. The, you know, the internal struggle of I'm doing
this for your own good versus why don't you trust me.

So where's the middle ground? Well, I think that when parents respect their kids'
privacy, it's actually a way of, you know, granting them them some measure of
responsibility and autonomy. When parents say, I trust you, kids are more apt to be
open, like, open their, like, their thinking and honest, like, and approach their
parents if something does go awry whether that's out in the world of online. And,
of course, many will argue that complete freedom is not such a good idea,
especially with how much riskier the virtual world can be. And, you know, there are
some real dangers of online cyberbullying, you know, scams and online predators
that just aren't the presentable real world.

So parents feel it's their right to protect their kids kids. And quite rightly so,
and there's a way of doing that without having to go all assert of homes and
rummaging through every post, comment, and even DM as if that were the case of the
century. A practice solution? How about parents make it clear, reasonable
boundaries, and agreement on how privacy will be handled? So, like, you know, they
are teaching by example, which is if we are, to be frank, the best form of
parenting.

So when kids see parents respecting their place, their space, they get to learn
what respecting a friend boundary looks like, a future partner, even a colleague.
Parenting is, like, you know, a sort if not just privacy are giving. It's life
skills, like, life skills. So let me conclude with this. Respecting privacy is not
just about, you know, averting one's eyes from what is happening on your in your
kid's world, both online and offline.

It is a matter of trusting them enough to navigate it on their own and being


confident that they will, you know, reach out to you when it when have in it. It is
a building of relationship, whether privacy is not a bad route, but a shared
understanding. And who knows, maybe if parents show that kind of trust, kids may be
surprised them by actually living up it too, just maybe. Thanks for listening.
