Social Media Tips for Children and Parents
2

• Social media does help connect kids with family
  and friends, which allows theme to communicate
  easily and also share what is going on in life,
  among many other benefits.
• But simply because children typically understand
  how to operate social media platform, it doesnt
  necessarily mean that they would be able to
  understand the various risks that are associated
  with using social media.

• Here are few ways parents can help with their
  childs online safety.
• Parents need to educate themselves on social
  media platforms that their kids want to use,
  suggests a teacher at the nursery school in
  Vadodara.

• It could involve setting up, first, your own
  accounts on those social media platforms and
  experimenting with actually using it, and further
  reading reviews about that platform.
• It is important to make sure that your kids
  understand that their online posts, shares, and
  comments would become a part of digital footprint
  that they would be leaving, even if the social
  media post is deleted later. 

5

• Perhaps even a more important thing to do is
  talking to your kids about privacy issues, which
  should include when it is appropriate, and when
  it is not appropriate, to share personal info
  like phone numbers, date of birth, family name,
  school name, hometown, etc.

6

• Most popular and used social media platforms have
  a requirement for minimum age, so do enforce
  that.
• Instagram, Twitter, and Face book, for instance,
  have 13 years as a minimum age requirement. 
• So, parents should strictly avoid creating a
  social media account for their preschooler,
  suggests a teacher at the play school in
  Manjalpur Vadodara.

7

• Parents should consider installing a security
  suite that is trusted and has parental controls,
  on the kids device.
• It is important that all safety features are
  enabled in order prevent kids from accidentally
  getting exposed to inappropriate online content. 

8

• This is especially important if your child is in
  kindergarten, primary school or preschool
  suggests the teacher at the kindergarten in
  Vadodara, as kids of these ages are highly
  impressionable.
• Parents must tell their kids to approve only
  those friend requests, or add people to their
  social network, if they are known and are trusted
  in real-world.

9

• Parents need to explain their kids about how
  cat-fishers setup fake social media profiles to
  pose as other people. 
• For instance, someone who wants to take
  advantages of young teens might setup fake
  profile(s) that would make it look like they are
  of same age. 

10

• The signs of cat fishing would include those
  profiles that tend to have only a limited number
  of uploaded pictures, that too, with existing
  photos looking like they are stages attempts to
  get kids to talk off that social media platform
  and even requests for money, phone number,
  intimate photos, or other kinds of real-life
  personal info.

11

• Once parents have established rules regarding
  social media activity, they need to have their
  kids sign a real agreement where they are
  agreeing to abide those rules the rules could
  include online safety rules and privacy
  protection rules.
