California’s new social media law, SB 976, is creating a buzz among parents and kids alike. It’s designed to protect our children from the addictive nature of social media by requiring parental consent for certain features and restricting notifications during school and late-night hours.
But is this the solution we’ve been waiting for?
Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and Joann ‘JoJo’ Venant believes it’s a good start.
The key is parental involvement and open communication. We need to have honest conversations with our kids about the potential dangers of social media and the reasons behind these new regulations.
By working together and setting healthy boundaries, we can empower our children to navigate the digital world safely.
While SB 976 may not be perfect, it’s a significant step towards safeguarding our children’s well-being. It’s a reminder that we, as parents, play a crucial role in shaping their online experiences.
