What if social media becomes a poison for family life?

Since the dawn of time, human relationships have not stopped evolving from poets to romantic dinners,

all to charm the loved one, but nothing replaces the physical asset, the bodily contact the eyes in the eyes

to increase the nascent love of 2 souls who are looking for each other.

21st century is the era of technology, where people are more and more addicted to social networks (ING, Facebook Whatsapp) to name a few.

.Communication has become easier not like in the past when one would have to wait for days to receive mail via post etc. But

now all done in an instant by 0s and 1s, we convey our words, but fear our feelings by the new means we are spreading today

.But the question that I ask myself and if this ease and this progress did not also have its harmful side for the generation of today who are trying to build themselves .. because some people often seek that

in some cases the lack of physical communication can bring certain problem in the bosom of the family which is considered as the basis of society.

social networks are extremely present in the families of and they have a very significant impact on internal dynamics.

Impact on marital dynamics

Social networks, constantly solicited most often by one and the other of the parental couple, can have good and bad effects on the couple but, in reality, they most often constitute a real danger for the conjugal dynamic.

The positive side is that they can enrich the exchanges at the level of the couple, by broadening the themes of exchange, and allow discussion in a more enriching way for one and for the other.

The disadvantage is that social networks distance couples, each finding themselves in front of their screen and no longer sharing anything with the other spouse, with the caricatural image of the restaurant scene where a man and a woman share a dinner together, without speaking to each other, each with their eyes riveted on their telephone.

Social networks intrude into the couple's life by not allowing its members to be completely in the relationship, by the attention they monopolize, which can be a source of much frustration for them, putting in real jeopardize the sustainability of the relationship.

The durability of the couple is also put to the test by the time that the spouses spend on social networks which are a real obstacle to communication.

Impact on bonds between children

Parents are very often ambivalent about the use of ICT. They always criticize their children for being in front of their phone screen all the time using and abusing social networks, but they are also the first to offer the latest smartphone to their child from an early age.

Social networks have this particularity for parents of no longer giving them the possibility of knowing their children's friends because they do not have access to their address book on these networks.

In parental representations, the use of social networks facilitates children's access to unfiltered information, not always adapted, in which they will, of course, learn many things but, at the same time, they will have access to dubious exchanges with risk of harassment, pedophilia, etc.

Parents are systematically confronted with a real ambivalence between their wish to empower their children in the latter's management of the time allotted to exchanges on social networks and the risk of seeing them settle into a form of dangerous passivity or even into a serious addiction.

The use of social networks by brothers and sisters can also allow rivalries between them or feelings of jealousy to be expressed, which can authorize beneficial readjustments in family dynamics.

Finally, we must not forget the significant risk for adolescents to see the information shared (photos, comments, etc.) on social networks used for other purposes and be at the origin of sometimes disastrous consequences for the whole family.

I am not denigrating progress but take the time to communicate with your family, without electronics, a good dinner, going to the beach, cinema, etc. board games in order to reconnect and forge the feeling of physical presence on the virtual. This can avoid distances that grow silently in your family before it's too late who silently in your family before it's too late advised of me being a victim
