At what age should kids be on social media.
FILE - A child holds an iPhone at an Apple store on Sept. 25, 2015 in Chicago. Parents and even some teens themselves are growing increasingly concerned about the effects of social media use on young people. At what age should kids be on social media? Should they be on it at all? If they aren't, will they be social pariahs? Should parents monitor their conversations? Do parental controls work?
The goal was to protect kids’ online privacy by requiring websites and online services to disclose clear privacy policies and get parents’ consent before gathering personal information on their kids, among other things. To comply, social media companies have generally banned kids under 13 from signing up for their services.
But neither social media companies nor the government have done anything concrete to increase the age limit.“There is not necessarily a magical age,” said Christine Elgersma, a social media expert at the nonprofit Common Sense Media. But, she added, “13 is probably not the best age for kids to get on social media.”
For older kids, Elgersma says to approach them with curiosity and interest,"asking about what their friends are doing or just not asking direct questions like, ‘What are you doing on Instagram?’ but rather, ‘Hey, I heard this influencer is really popular.'” And even if your kid rolled their eyes it could be a window.”
Instead, Rogers suggests asking them questions about what they do on their phone, and see what your child is willing to share. “They need to an excuse with their peers to not be on their phone at night,” Rogers said. “They can blame their parents.”
