To be on guard against internet crimes is the best way on how you can prevent becoming a prey. You will need constant supervision and regulation in order to monitor your children’s internet activity. Installing protective software is a good source. It can prevent downloads from harmful websites. It can also tell you what sites have been visited and screen shots will tell who they have been talking to and what was the discussion about. But if this fails, where else will you turn to? Will you ask your children direct questions about their internet activities? How reliable do you think they can be? You can’t just suddenly say you trust them for no reason at all. And if the child is undeserving of your trust, he can always abuse this trust. So here are some tips which can help you better determine if your child is being dishonest or lying.
- Cannot look straight into the eyes – instead of looking at you while talking, he pretends to be busy in other activities.
- They touch and their face and mouth a lot – just like in the movies that the liar becomes restless.
- Incessant gestures- repetitive unnecessary movements like biting fingers, blinking of the eye.
- Defensive – opinion is always the opposite.
- They look down when telling stories.
- Details of their stories are inconsistent.
- Avoiding conversation – walking around the room while you are talking and responds in mono syllabic answers. Appears to be tired and/or bored.
