ABSTRACT

The introduction of rules for the use of digital media by parents is perceived as an important way to prevent the negative effects of digital media, including social networking sites, on children and young people. The article presents the results of research (diagnostic survey method, survey conducted on a sample of 224 people), the main purpose of which was to answer the question: How did the home digital rules introduced in the family translate into the use of social media by children, in their retrospective assessment? The data collected shows that: 1) Only 52% of respondents had digital policies in place when they were children. 2) Children from families without digital rules were more likely to lie to their parents about digital matters (23%). 3) Only 2% of the respondents had a care program established by their parents in their childhood. 4) Hate is allowed only by children whose parents do not control what children do on phones with Internet access. 6) No statistically significant relationship between undertaking positive behaviors on social networking sites and introducing digital rules at home. 7) Children from Catholic families do not display any more positive or negative behavior than their non-believing peers. The research shows the value of home media education in the context of children's use of social media, indicating the right direction of action for their guardians - parents, tutors, pastors.
