Dangerous games: "The blue whale", "the devil's alphabet" and "Momo", how to know if your child is involved

From a modification of your routine to isolation, here are some signs that your child might be involved in some of these practices. Asking for help at the slightest hint can save your life.

New technologies encourage the emergence of new manifestations of violence and a mechanism of coercion. Children and adolescents are the most at risk because of their heavy reliance on technology, but most of all their willingness to take on challenges and take new steps. In this sense, a new game called "the devil's alphabet" worries European parents, in a game that seems to progress and to which we must be attentive and who, thanks to the self-flagellation, calls the minor .

"At different stages of reproduction, children are changing stages and games, more and more before puberty changes games, is an age group very vulnerable to all these physiological changes" explained Chas Romina, psychologist of education.

Unlike the blue whale and the "Momo", where late adolescence is suicide, this practice would be a mechanism that encourages harbadment and harbadment among schoolchildren. A very serious fact that, as parents, should be vigilant.

He explained that puberty and adolescence are steps where parents have become ideal role models and boys are looking for idols. These are now young people, but many of them do not encourage things in a positive way. "Challenge games have always been an integral part of many problems and involve moving from one position to another.The problem is that these challenges become viral and stop being a matter of transition and then to pbad. to a perverse event (…) they involve self harm, they stop being positive. "

Among the main signs to keep in mind, there is the change in your routine. "Change the family routine, do not want to stay at the table at lunch time, prefer to stay at the game console, instead of going out, when they prefer to be alone in front of the device, c & # 39; is an alarm sign. "

He added that the characteristics of vulnerable people are not exclusive to other children, because they are games that create an addiction and that they "have the cunning to insert into everyone's home", has said the professor at the University of Cuenca del Plata.

"We must remember that the teenager has not developed all his brain and that he is acting without measuring the consequences, it is difficult to develop the capacity for badysis." school as well as parents and guardians have a fundamental role to play "

Emotional education

By working in emotional education in the clbadroom, you can encourage them to learn to channel their emotions. "It's not the same thing to hit a partner as to do a sport (…) Emotional education involves cross-cutting change in both education and in the family," did he declare.

He added that we should be more attentive to children and serve as a model: "We tell the son not to be with the cell phone, but we do it all the time," he said.
