What's the right age to start using social media?

Here’s the thing… children are not magically ready for social media at a certain age 🤷🏼‍♀️

Readiness for social media is based on more important factors than age…

…personality & temperament

…ability to interpret online communication

…sense of self

…ability to cope with comparison

…ability to understand that social media is simply the highlights reel of what people choose to share online

…capacity to cope with feeling jealous, inadequate or left out

…having a range of other interests

There is no golden age of readiness for social media.

So, instead of asking…

❌ “when is the right age to start using social media?”

…focus on THIS question:

✅ “how can I prepare my child for social media?”
