Are you the parent of a teenager and you’re struggling with how to handle social media? Engaging with friends on social media can contribute positively to a teenager’s development, offering opportunities to acquire new social skills and navigate complex relationships! However, the potential hazards lie in the use of the like button and artificial intelligence-driven features that encourage excessive scrolling, cyberbullying, and online predators. We’ve compiled some tips to help you teach your teens to have a healthy and safe relationship with social media! Start with protecting their brain by setting limits. Most phones or social media platforms themselves have a way for you to limit the use of specific apps. You can set it so social media cannot be used from 8 pm to 8 am to encourage a regular sleep schedule! You should also discuss their use of social media weekly and model a healthy relationship. If you don’t want them on social media or their phone during dinner, you shouldn’t be either! Use this time to discuss what they’ve seen on social, engage with them, and know who they’re talking to too. Make sure to take the time to teach them that things they see on social media may not be real. Photoshop and other image editing apps can lead to teens feeling self-conscious because they can’t reach an unreachable standard. Teach them to curate what they post and not overshare! Finally, if your teen is showing troubling signs surrounding their social media use, consider speaking to a professional to help them develop habits to combat the negatives of social media. #janedoenomore #johndoenomore #socialmedia #socialmediasafety #socialmediaeducation #parents #teenagers #teensonsocialmedia #socialmediarules #parentingtips #tipsforparents

Roblox is an online game platform that offers a wide range of games, from puzzles to role-playing adventures. With over 150 million monthly active users, the platform has become extremely popular among children and teenagers. However, not all of the games on Roblox are safe for kids. In fact, some games can be quite dangerous, exposing children to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and even online predators.

Today’s advisory is just one more warning in a line of many that should alert parents and caregivers to be extra vigilant when it comes to their kids and social media. Murthy goes through some of the existing research and outlines the emerging risks including exposure to harmful and inappropriate content, normalization of self harm, body dissatisfaction leading to disordered eating, cyberbullying leading to depression, and potential interactions with malicious actors who target kids. In the end, the advisory urges policy makers, technology companies and researchers to work together. “We’ve got to move quickly,” he said. “None of us should be satisfied until we have clear evidence that these platforms are safe.” While I look forward to the day when policies and tech companies support a safer social media world for our children, it’s ultimately up to us as parents and caregivers to assure that they have the knowledge and tools to navigate this reality. This includes making sure they are at an appropriate age before joining social media and working together to come up with a Family Social Media Success Plan. I’ve got you. I’ve worked together withy experts, designers, and own kids to make this easy effective and fun. It goes live next week!

Social media has become a ubiquitous aspect of modern teenage life. According to a 2022 report by Pew Research Center, 97% of American teenagers aged 13-17 use at least one social media platform. Teenagers use social media for a variety of reasons, including building connections with friends and expressing themselves creatively. However, social media can also present significant challenges, such as cyberbullying and pressure to present a curated self-image. A report by ReachOut, an Australian mental health organization, highlights the impact of social media on teenagers' mental health and wellbeing. While social media can provide positive experiences and opportunities for connection, it can also contribute to anxiety, stress, and negative self-image. The report emphasizes the importance of parents and caregivers promoting healthy habits and offline activities to help balance their time and reduce screen time. To support teenagers in navigating social media, parents and caregivers can encourage open communication about their online experiences, monitor their social media use, and teach them healthy ways to cope with challenges such as cyberbullying and FOMO (fear of missing out). They can also promote activities that foster face-to-face interactions and build social skills, such as volunteering or participating in sports teams or clubs. By taking an active role in teenagers' social media use and wellbeing, parents and caregivers can help them make the most of social media while prioritizing their mental health. #MarketingForTeens1 #TeensMarketing #TeensOnSocialMedia https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2022/11/16/connection-creativity-and-drama-teen-life-on-social-media-in-2022/ https://parents.au.reachout.com/skills-to-build/wellbeing/social-media-and-teenagers

Nach einer kürzlichen Untersuchung, die aufgedeckt hat, wie Pädophile den Dienst genutzt haben, um Bildtafeln von jungen Mädchen zu kuratieren, hat Pinterest weitere Sicherheitsmaßnahmen für seine Plattform angekündigt. Hier ist, was neu ist: 👀🔒 Teenager unter 16 Jahren haben standardmäßig private Konten, die von anderen nicht entdeckt werden können. 🤝👨👩👧👦 Boards und Pins von Personen unter 16 Jahren sind für niemanden außer ihnen selbst sichtbar oder zugänglich. In diesem Sommer will Pinterest jüngeren Benutzern die Zusammenarbeit mit Freunden und Familie wieder ermöglichen, sofern sie die Erlaubnis dazu geben. 🚫👩🦳 Beauty-Filter sind raus, ebenso wie Werbung für Gewichtsverlust. Filter, die das Aussehen der Benutzer verändern, können dazu führen, dass sie sich selbst anders wahrnehmen, und Gewichtsverlust-Anzeigen können besonders schädlich für das emotionale Wohlbefinden sein. Deshalb sind sie auf der Plattform nicht erlaubt. 🔐 Mehr Optionen für Eltern und Erziehungsberechtigte, um Jugendliche online zu unterstützen, einschließlich der Anforderung eines Passcodes für bestimmte Kontoeinstellungen. Bis Ende April werden auch die Altersverifizierungsprozesse erweitert, um die Legitimität zu bestätigen. Diese neuen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen sind ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung, aber wir müssen weiterhin wachsam bleiben. Denkst du, dass diese Änderungen Pinterest für alle sicherer machen werden? 🤔 #pinterestnews #pinterestupdates #sicherheitgehtvor #kinderschutz #jugendschutz #teensonsocialmedia #socialmediasafety #jugendsicherheit #onlinesicherheit #digitaleswohlbefinden #techgespräch
After a recent investigation exposed how pedophiles had been using the service to curate image boards of young girls, Pinterest has announced further safety measures for its platform. Here's what's new: 👀🔒 Teens under 16 years have private accounts by default which others can’t discover. 🤝👨👩👧👦 Boards and Pins of those under 16 are not visible or accessible to anyone but themselves. This summer, Pinterest aims to reintroduce the ability for younger users to collaborate with friends and family as long as they give permission. 🚫👩🦳 Beauty filters are out, as well as weight loss ads. Filters that change how users look can often start to change how they think about themselves, and weight loss ads have been particularly harmful to emotional well-being, so they are not allowed on the platform. 🔐 More options for parents and guardians to support teens online, including requiring a passcode for certain account settings. By the end of April, age verification processes will also have been expanded to confirm legitimacy. These new safety measures are a step in the right direction, but we still need to remain vigilant. Do you think these changes will make Pinterest safer for everyone? 🤔 #pinterestnews #pinterestupdates #safetyfirst #parentalcontrols #teensonsocialmedia #socialmediasafety #teensafety #onlinesafety #digitalwellbeing #protectouryouth

Be a little SNEAKY! Teens will often resist if we tell them they HAVE to get off social media or they CAN'T spend more time online. Instead, create MORE opportunities to SNEAK in face to face time.

Take youth seriously when they report feeling uncomfortable after receiving an online message or viewing inappropriate content. 2. Ask what they need and then listen. 3. Let them know it is not their fault and that you are glad they came to you. 4. Save screenshots, block the other user, and change the child's online credentials including profile name, usernames, emails, and passwords. This will help to keep them safe so the offensive person can not find them. 5. Report the harmful behavior to law enforcement and the app's administrators.
