I hear you. Social media can have both positive and negative effects on children. Being a parent, I grapple with the same problem every day. I am sharing some tips to control the negative effects as much as possible.

- Limit your child's use of social media by establishing time limits and encouraging them to take frequent breaks from it.
- Follow social media activity: Keep a watch on your child's online activities, including what they are doing, with whom they are engaging, and what kind of content they are viewing.
- Children should be taught the value of protecting their personal information online, staying away from strangers, and reporting any suspicious or inappropriate behavior.
- Promote positive interactions by encouraging children to share their creative work or interact with online communities that share their interests.
- Encourage open dialogue by creating an atmosphere where children feel at ease discussing their online experiences with you.
