Keeping teens safe on social media: What parents should know to protect their kids
Social media can benefit teens' development but also pose risks, especially considering the vulnerability of adolescent brains. To promote healthy use, parents should monitor their child’s social media activity, set time limits, and encourage balanced engagement. Effective guidelines include limiting exposure to harmful content, supervising online interactions, and fostering open communication. Parents should also model healthy digital behavior, recognize signs of problematic use, and promote social media literacy. Research emphasizes the importance of active involvement in guiding teens to use social media in ways that support their well-being.
