"Dad, what is internet?"Natalia asked her father. A question that your children will soon ask you, if they haven't done it yet, so better be prepared. Through drawings and simple explanations the father has spent forty minutes explaining what is internet to your four year old girl. Take note.
Before starting to talk about computer and data transmission, the father started with a drawing (small box) in which you can see two houses connected by a tunnel or magic tube which allows us to reach the sites very quickly to go to the house of friends or strangers, whenever they allow it, and return at any time.
Then he went on to explain something similar but with computers, phones and TV, through which houses and people can be connected to each other thanks to the "magic tube".
The explanation followed with more specific questions such as putting on the magic tube a drawing that Natalia had made for her friends to see, and could even comment and write comments about the colors, if it was beautiful, etc.
Of course, that of the father is a didactic form of explain what the internet is to a four year old girl. You can also apply this scheme as a mind map, a system that helps young children visualize knowledge better.
Oh, and by the way, don't forget to tell them, also with words they can understand, the importance of security in the use of the internet.
