Giving “Controlled” Freedom
There are lots of resources and apps out there to help you monitor what your child can access on their phones and social media. From privacy setting, screentime limits, website ratings, to passwords on credit cards, there are apps that help you keep track of everything. Do your research and find some tools that you’re comfortable using and discuss them with your child. Social media is a whole world in-and-of itself and if we can put some guardrails in place that control the environment, our children will experience controlled freedom—which is a good training step in the right direction!
