Social Media And Kids: The Australian government is thinking of taking some strict steps to keep kids away from social media. In Australia, it is being considered to fix the age of children to use social media between 14 and 16 years. If we look at it, almost all the parents are troubled by their children’s addiction to mobile phones.
Children have become so addicted to mobile phones that some children do not even eat food without looking at it. Due to being glued to the mobile, children are neither able to focus on studies nor do physical activities. Let us know what steps you can take to keep children away from mobile phones, especially social media.
Ways to keep your child away from social media
Parents should take special steps to keep their child away from mobile. Parents should try not to give mobile to their child. If necessary, watch mobile with him and then put it down. To stop the child from watching mobile, parents themselves should also stay away from mobile.
If the child is spending too much time on social media, then tell him about its side effects. Fix the hours for the child to study and along with this, fix the time for watching mobile i.e. screen limit.
Track your child on social media
Keep tracking the child on social media. Install the parental settings app on the child’s mobile and find out what your child is watching and listening to on social media. Keep finding out which people the child is following and what kind of videos he is watching. If the child is on Facebook, keep an eye on his posts and his friends. To keep the child away from the mobile, encourage him to do physical activities. Send him out for outdoor games. Fix a time for him to play with nearby friends.
