pressure or set target related to their study as more pressure will make them
become fear rather than encourage them to study. The best way, you need try to
explain them how important of study when they grow old by telling them about
your experience. Be respectful during conflicts: Stay calm during a conflict. Do not scream, yell, or snap at

4. Sharing Information
12 years
old children will meet more people as they will need to develop their social
and they hardly identify who is good or bad, friend or enemy due to their
knowledge is still limited especially what current happening in society.
Therefore, we need to share information as much as possible related to society
such as drinking, drugs, sexuality and online
surfing.
1. 5. Content Control
Research studies have identified the following domains of influence in which media content has been shown to have negative effects on children: violence and aggressive behavior, sexual content, body image and self-esteem, and physical health and school performance. We should limit children the content exposed by follow the content rating as they also need entertainment to relax such as watching TV, reading book or playing game. We would like to recommend using Microsoft Family Feature to control what content that children can access online during Covid 19 pandemic as most of your children are study online.
