(ISC)2 Shares Tips With The CyberHood Watch

When The CyberHood Watch partners, Dave & Bill, became aware of (ISC)², they were excited to talk with other leaders knowing they would gain new insight to share with the kids in the community. When you think about how long the Internet has been available for common use, we are still in an infant stage of what is to come.

When (ISC)² posed the question to a group of young elementary students regarding the PC, “Who is the expert in your home?”, more than sixty percent of the kids raised their hands.

“Without a doubt, what’s required here is a unanimous understanding of a need to teach our kids this, as part of the curriculum. Without a doubt, new computers are here and are no longer a discussion about the technology of using it, and absolutely a discussion about the human nature of it, and dealing with what is normal and abnormal behavior.

Once we get that across everything that is required in terms of manpower, money, and origination will follow, but at the moment there is still this belief – yeah, this is just a passing phase, it’s just computers, schools just need to focus on the three Rs, and we can’t do that anymore. It’s here, and it’s here to stay, and it’s invading our lives more and more every day. So, we need to get these programs set up, legislated, rolled out, and supported”, said Rich Harrison, spokesperson for Safe and Secure Online when answering The CyberHood Watch magic wand question.

The CyberHood Watch Meets (ISC)2 Safe & Secure Online

Here you have one of the world’s largest organizations of information security professionals, with an excess of 71,000 members, willing to develop a program to help empower children on understanding safe practices. The CyberHood Watch has tirelessly advocated for the safety and security of children, families, & businesses for years, and for schools to have (ISC)² come in and teach your children is an outstanding opportunity and on e that should not be overlooked.

How many industries do you think are doing a trillion dollars a year? Anyone curious what a trillion looks like… $1,000,000,000,000.00. Unless, we forget, that is a trillion dollars every year. W. Hord Tipton brought the trillion dollars to our attention. However; it occurred to me, how much of that trillion can be reintroduced back into the market because of the efforts of world leaders like (ISC)² and smaller corporations like The CyberHood Watch who educate and empower children how to live his or her digital life safely and securely in the digital age.

The future of the Internet belongs to our children, or does the future of our children belong to the Internet? Empowering children, who will empower others will most likely develop a new net-generation of digital citizens who will make better-informed digital decisions, and not become victims of cybercriminals, hence; recouping some of the trillion dollars lost each year.

W. Hord Tipton Executive Director and member of the Board of Directors, (ISC)² encourage young adults to consider security as career. I know of a trillion dollar market, which should be considered as newfound monies and an opportunity to support the economy.

Rich Harrison Comment to TheCyberHood Watch Was Knowing The Consequences Elevates Kids Level of Understanding

Other suggestions offered by both W. Hord Tipton and Rich Harrison noted that children who understand the consequences of his or her action elevates the level of understanding and a parents assurance his or her child will make better informed decisions.

Attention! According to Rich Harrison, it is more than just computers it is understanding devices. This is not going away or going to get better. The fact is it is going to grow exponentially and this is part of our everyday digital lives. You have to be connected to do business, and get work done.

“Just because you can do something with the technology doesn’t mean that it is a good thing to do”, said Rich. However, an organization like (ISC)² does know a lot about technology and what they are doing is more than a good thing, they are developing responsible digital citizens, and assuring the future of the Internet belongs to our children.

If you would like the (ISC)² Safe and Secure Online program presented at your school or a school in your community, please contact safeandsecure@isc.org and you will be connected with a volunteer in your area, if available.

Sometimes it’s just as important to know from where the potential source of imbalance between planting and building comes as it is to know how to plant and build. When the building component (habits and structure) of a child’s upbringing is left out, it’s usually because it involves making demands and imposing behaviors on a child, which some parents and teachers are very hesitant to do.

There are a few reasons for this:

1) fear of conflict: sometimes the parent or teacher will ask themselves: “what if he refuses to cooperate?”
2) lack of patience: when the parent/ teacher is too busy with other things to deal with the child- “Do I have the time or energy to deal with this conflict now?”
3) a thoroughly democratic worldview: when a parent or teacher in their minds feel that they themselves do not have the right to tell a child what they should do or think- “Who am I to tell the child what is right or wrong?”
4) from unpleasant childhood memories: “I hated the way my parents imposed their will on me, and I vow never to never to make my child suffer the same fate!”

For a well-balanced parenting and teaching job that includes both planting and building, whoever is involved is encouraged to overcome whatever barriers there are and engage in vigorous planting and building, providing children simultaneously with clear behavioral guidelines and good values.

And likewise, parents and teachers often leave planting out of the formula because of an educational tunnel vision. Building produces instant results. When we change the behavior of a child, we see it right away- at least on the outside, so parents and teachers often end up focusing only on the instant result aspect of their teaching.

Planting, however, really requires from you courage, vision, faith and most of all, patience. We need to convince ourselves that the values and perspectives that we teach our children will eventually produce behavioral change over time, which means you have to set aside the desire for instant results. We need to stand by calmly and wait for the behavior to change.

Now we see the importance of balancing both planting and building within a child.

The internet, because of the nature of the “beast”, is like building at a frantic speed without any planting. Because of the internet we become more and more impatient for results. The internet gets faster and faster and more and more interactive every day, with videos, and camera conferences and the like. As a result we leave out the planting more and more.

Building occurs in speeds and directions that are very hard for the parents and teachers to control. For example the internet helps to build behaviors that are more satisfaction-based rather than health- and happiness-based, and therefore more likely to be addictive than healthy. The little planting that is done by surfing online is of ideas and values that may not be at harmony with what the parents and teachers want for their children.

Exposing children to the internet causes very unhealthy balances between planting and building. Every parent and teacher needs to take the child back in their hands and start the dual job of planting and building.
