Safety experts warn on language gaps
Salama Child Foundation in Sharjah highlights the risks of the digital gap between parents and children and warns that the use of emojis, abbreviations, and trending terms on social media by children may carry different meanings than those understood by parents. This can hinder the detection of important signals related to security or behavioral risks. The foundation emphasizes the necessity for parents and teachers to understand the digital language used by children to help protect them from harmful content, including bullying or online exploitation, and to develop their understanding of online interactions. It also affirms that understanding the context and significance of symbols and terms is essential in safeguarding children. The foundation calls for ongoing awareness of popular terminologies, reviewing the content children follow, and promoting open family dialogue and continuous digital safety education.
