Should you delay letting your kids use social media?

Delaying your child’s exposure to social media can be beneficial for their mental health and self-esteem, however, avoiding it entirely is not easy. The key is teaching them how to use it responsibly, just like you would teach them how to drive.

Setting important boundaries on how much your child is allowed to use social media, and both guiding and modeling how to use social media wisely, can be strategic ways to ensure your child knows how to navigate the digital world safely.
