TEACHING KIDS TO BE SMART ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA
All teens use some form of social media (like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat) and have profiles on these social networking sites. Many children visit these sites every day.
Social media, like any other platform, has many good things, but also many risks and things that children and teenagers should avoid. They do not always make rational decisions when posting on or about various topics over social media, and this can sometimes lead to problems.
Tell your children that it is important to:
1) Be nice
2) Think twice before pressing “enter”
3) Follow the “WWGS?” (What would grandma say to that?) rule
4) Use privacy settings
5) Don’t make friends with strangers
At CGR International School, we organize special awareness sessions and drives with children to inform them about the pros and cons of social media, including what to do and what to avoid on such platforms. Children can contact our faculties at any time if they need help or advice with anything, including social media.
