[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boys have never been interested in social media thankfully. They do watch too much YouTube though. School clubs use private Discord channels, and I'm fine with that. When they were younger we monitored the friend chat on Discord and taught them the rules and perils, but at a certain age you need to stop eavesdropping on your kids.[/quote] YouTube and Discord are social media. I went to a parent ed presentation at my kids' school this week from a non-profit that deals with social media and kids and they included Roblox and Fortnight on their list of social media as well. https://www.socialmediasafety.org/ The presentation pointed out that social media isn't going away and even if you ban it kids are still looking at it at their friends' houses or, in my DD's case, on her school computer. So I think the better question might be what are you doing to mitigate the dangerous impact of social media in your child's world? [/quote]
