Strengths and risks of social media with Colman Noctor
from Growing Pains
Child psychotherapist and best-selling author Dr Colman Noctor and ieParenting editor Irene Feighan delve into the often-divisive topic of smartphones and social media. There is no set rule for when children should have their own smartphone as technology is only as smart as the person using it, says Noctor. Children are exposed to the adult world - news, radical ideologies, pornography - due to their easy access to mass media. Parents must acknowledge this and talk with their children rather than bury their heads in the sand. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
