The American Psychological Association (APA) warns social media isn’t doing enough to protect kids. On ‘Psychology Behind Headlines’ host Patricia Wu and guest therapist Dr. Cortina Peters discuss why parents must step up for online safety.
Be Involved
Parents need to know what apps kids use and the content they see. Engage with your children about their online experiences.
Use Parental Controls
Limit screen time and inappropriate content with device settings. Apple devices offer strong parental control options.
Set Clear Rules
Talk to your kids about safe social media use. Establish boundaries around screen time, content, and online behavior.
