The aim of this research was to investigate the knowledge and experiences of parents about the ways in which the internet is used by children. It was examined how the use of the internet can serve the child and what is the role of parents in the socialization of children via the internet. Also, the dangers that are not uncommon when using the Internet in children, but also in general, were examined. The research was conducted by an online survey in the period from July 12, 2020 to August 18, 2020. Since the Internet is one of the factors of socialization, an attempt was made to determine its impact on the socialization of primary school children. The results of the research indicate that the internet has negative effects on the child's communication with peers and the environment, but it also has positive effects such as its use for educational purposes unrelated to school and as a choice of entertainment. Although most parents set certain rules for their children to use the Internet, research results indicate that they do not communicate with them often about how they spend their time online. More than half of the parents who participated in the survey agree with the statement that the internet in itself is neither good nor bad, while the vast majority of parents believe that their children do not need the internet to live. In conclusion, it can be established that the Internet as an agent of socialization can be presented neither as a positive nor as a negative factor. Every parent with responsible upbringing and education can direct their own child to use the Internet properly and adopt from him useful opportunities for his life in all aspects, as well as in his socialization with the environment around him.
