What’s the right age for social media?
When is the right time for kids to join social media? How do you decide if your child is ready for social media? How do you prepare your child to understand the risks and rewards, the do's and the don'ts, and all the nuance associated with social media? This is The Ultimate Guide to Determining When Your Child Should Have Social Media Accounts. As modern-day parents, we are balancing our child's online safety and independence online as they get older and want to join social media and/or online gaming. Teaching social media responsibility to our kids starts with the sex talks because it's inevitable that kids will come across sexual content on social media or when online gaming. The US Surgeon General says 13 years old is too early to allow kids to join social media - so what is the right age for kids to join social media and how do you prepare them to go online and make the right choices? This video covers the latest research on social media impacts on children and gives you 5 tips on how to decide if your child is ready for social media.
