What Are the Potential Downsides of Parental Controls?
While parental controls are beneficial, they can also have potential downsides:
Over-reliance on controls may limit children's ability to self-regulate their behavior. Excessive monitoring can lead to trust issues between parents and children. Children may find ways to bypass controls, leading to a false sense of security.
It is essential for parents to balance control with open communication and education about responsible online behavior.
