Influence of Social media on Children

HAPPY WEEKEND

Social Media is excellent. But it has brought more damage than benefit to children.
Social media have beneficial and detrimental effects on children.

We are expanding into technology so quickly, that youngsters may acquire skills online, complete Assignments easily asking Google, and obtain educational material online via social media handles.

But we can observe that the negative influence appears to be overshadowing the positive. There's a swift adverse effect Social Media has on children even adults. Children travel to sites with exhibits enticing stuff thus polluting their thoughts and heart at an early stage of their life.
Children enjoy practicing what they observe.

How to balance guarantee there's a balance?

Parents should be able to oversee what the children view. No matter how hectic schedules are take out time to have chat with your children. Parents should be the greatest friend of their children, sometimes they want to talk about their difficulties or what they see and if their parents aren't present, they seek advice from friends or social media which could be harmful.

For me, at least a kid should be done with Secondary school before they should be given a phone.
In this manner are they developed to handle what they see.

Also, certain sites which are not lucrative to their education or person might be prohibited. Avoid them browsing such sites.

This is my way oo
Two people that have stayed with me don't use their phones single-handedly until I see their WAEC RESULTS.

THEY can use mine to browse the assignment and make calls oo under my watch but to let them stay focused to some point, I restrict them a bit due to its negative effect on a younger age.

I agree with you. I think that even as adults we should be more aware of the time that we spend on social media and how it affect us. There are many movies and documentaries that talk about how they can influence your opinion and mind. For that reason I would love that we have more decentralized social media like Hive where nobody is using your data for manipulating your state of mind
