According to statistics, every second child has experienced bullying. More than half of the children do not disclose it to their parents. Therefore, it is important to notice direct and indirect signs that your child has become a witness or victim of bullying and know how to help them.
Providing psychological support and trying to identify the cause are the first tasks for parents. Take our test, which is compiled in collaboration with real experts. It will show how well-informed you are about bullying and whether you can properly assist your child if needed.

Problem #3: Gadgets!
Findmykids
This month, Findmykids conducted a study among children, revealing that they spend 5 hours a day on their phones! The danger lies not only in the potential development of gaming or gadget addiction but also in the exposure to potentially traumatizing and inappropriate content for children.
There is a belief that an excess of visual and gaming stimulation in children can have a negative impact on their development. Therefore, it is important to monitor the amount of time a child spends playing games and watching videos, as well as the type of content they consume.

We are afraid to let our children venture out on their own, but it is inevitable. Sooner or later, a child starts going out to play in the neighborhood, walks to the nearest store, and begins navigating the city. These are stages of development and growing up.
To alleviate concerns, firstly, it is advisable to acquire children’s GPS watches or download the Findmykids app. Secondly, it is important to teach the child the basic rules of safe behavior.
