[quote=Anonymous]My kids are very intelligent. I have to be very honest with them. I knew that if I could educate them well about how social media is used to serve some people and manipulate others, then I had a leg to stand. We watched a lot of documentaries and films about social media, got informed about how prospective employers and employers view the content of social media, bullying, catfishing, porn, revenge porn etc. and I also had healthy limits on screen usage. So it is a combo of three things - educating them honestly about the dangers and how to protect themselves, healthy limits, guiding them in other aspects of their lives so they are thriving physically, mentally, socially, academically etc. social media sometimes is used to fill the holes on the lives of the children who are not happy.[/quote]
