[quote=Anonymous]DD, 13, has time limits and ipad is placed in bedroom and powered off at 8:45pm weekdays, 9:30pm weekends. Family works in tech so we have had very in-depth conversations re: social media, specific apps, and we don't allow child to post. For example, DH once hacked into older cousin's social media -- with her permission -- to illustrate the need for privacy settings etc. and to help DD's friends understand how easy it is for people to track you if not diligent. The reality is a savvy kid can find workarounds if so compelled as parental safeguards are helpful but not foolproof. We hope that engaging our child directly in conversations as to the pros and cons as well as the addictive nature of algorithms and how companies seek to financially benefit from their social media usage will help her make healthy, well-informed decisions as she gets older and we loosen restrictions.
