Social Media Conflict and Concerns |
From Psychology Today:
"There is a big difference in how different generations view social media and technology. Children need guidance to develop the skills it takes to balance their immediate needs with longer-term goals. The technology changes all the time, but the critical thinking to make judgments about how and when to use technology is transferable from one to the next. Whenever possible, negotiate media usage with children. Explain your concerns and goals and listen to theirs and then establish rules accordingly. It’s not possible to keep children and teens from using social media. By negotiating reasonable goals, however, you leave the door open if and when issues arrive and they have questions or need help. The biggest reason children don’t turn to their parents or other adults when they run into questions, like how to use privacy settings, or problems, like cyberbullying, is the fear that parents will take away their smartphone or computer.
