Abstract

In the presented article the main point concerns the role and meaning of new technologies which are involved in the socialization, the upbringing and education of children. The intent of this article is to indicate the necessity of planned and intentional preventive actions which are taken by both parents and the whole family environment. New technologies are already present in the process of bringing children and teenagers up. It remains to develop them effectively and to include them into this process, minimizing their adverse effects. The article is also presenting findings of parents taken on the group of children at the age of 7 -12.  They have been divided in two groups, of parents of children with psychological disorders and without these disorders. Both groups clearly differ between themselves as regards the scope of noticed Internet threats. Parents still need help and they want to cooperate with some specialist to support their children to be active and save in virtual reality.
