Parents in Yakutia begin educating their kids on cybersecurity following the purchase of their initial smartphone
In a recent joint study by Avito and MTS, it was found that the search results do not contain information about common internet safety measures and practices taught to children in the Far Eastern Federal District, including Yakutia, by their parents.
The study, which focused on digital parenting in the region, highlighted several key practices that parents are teaching their children to ensure online safety.
One of the most common rules taught is not clicking on suspicious links, with 72% of parents emphasizing this point. Not sharing personal data is another important rule, with 77% of parents instructing their children to keep their personal information private.
When it comes to online transactions, not agreeing to switch to another messenger is a safety rule often taught to children, with 58% of parents advising their children to be cautious in this area. Creating strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication is another internet safety rule often taught to children, with 36% of parents emphasizing the importance of this practice.
Not giving out account access is also a frequently taught internet safety rule, with 63% of parents advising their children to keep their accounts secure. Parents are also teaching their children to be careful when making online transactions, with not paying in advance or sending money directly to the seller's card being a common rule (52%).
Interestingly, the study found that the average age at which parents allow their children to actively use digital platforms is 11 years old. Most parents (67%) in the survey start teaching their children about internet safety immediately after their child gets their first smartphone.
The study also revealed some differences in digital parenting based on age. Parents aged 25-34 are more likely to allow their children to use digital platforms at 9 years old, while parents aged 55-64 are more likely to allow at 12 years old.
The majority of children's online activities involve video hosting (43%), messengers (31%), gaming platforms and online games (31%), short video services (28%), social networks (22%), online cinemas (14%), online shopping platforms like marketplaces and classifieds (12%), and music streaming services (5%).
Buying goods or ordering services only from trusted platforms is a less common but still taught internet safety rule (25%).
While the study provides valuable insights into digital parenting in the Far Eastern Federal District, it's important to note that no relevant data on the specific joint study or regional parental practices was found in the current search results.
