I didn’t say to keep kids away from it. I said teach them how to be safe while online. The internet can be a fantastic resource for kids in most circumstances.
by your logic, walking down the street is dangerous for a child so obviously the solution is to never let them walk down the street ever. rather than walking beside them and teaching them how to be smart and avoid dangers.
the phrase “social media is bad for kids” is too broad for it to really mean anything without context anyway.
if you want to look at it that way, most things that exist are bad for kids.
OK, so what does what happens in one person’s family have to do with all children?
Again you might teach your kids to walk safely on the sidewalk, but if something changes and ten of thousands of kids just start walking off the sidewalk… Wouldn’t that be an issue worth considering?
I don’t think it’s quite the world ending issue you do. That seems to be the basis of our disagreement.
Do whatever you feel you need to do to protect your children from whatever.
But the intensity of your argument for a simple clickbaity article is a bit too much for me to want to continue talking about it in this manner. sorry, bud.
