I am all for e-safety and preventative work early on, but feel concerned that my son doesn't even know what the internet really is and therefore to instill fear before he even has a concept of it isn't helpful?
Its not a major 'I'm going to throw all toys out of pram and march into school' issue, but I do feel a little irked that he has been made to fear something he doesn't yet understand and so instead imagines all type of horrors of people 'pretending to be nice just to trap him and do nasty things'. May well be our issue as he doesn't have computers, tabs. etc at home, just feels too much too soon maybe? Prepared for others to disagree.
