I accept that it's a part of life now, and it's pretty well embedded into everyday life, that being said, I know my children will want to use social media, and I don't have a problem with this, but I also feel there is a time and a place for it. </p>\n<p>My oldest child is 8, and he doesn't use social media, nor has he even expressed an interest to. I don't see the need for him to use it either. The internet already seems to have enough of a negative effect on his attention span, so I don't see any positive influence coming from added networking. </p>\n<p>Really, during a child's early development, I think there should be a well balanced mixture of learning, as well as playing. There is no reason why children can't go outside to play with their friends while their young. </p>\n<p>What age would be good? I don't know honestly. I personally hope I can keep my kids off social media until their at least teen ager's, and even if I allow them to use it in their teens, there will certainly be limitations. School comes first!</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3eq7l9d5","appParentAuthor":"bolanleadi","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
