Social media involvement of parents
Many parents worry about the effects of excessive use of social media. It can distract parents and reduce their involvement in day-to-day activities. This can also put children at high risk for harm. Research has shown that parents' social media usage can have a significant impact on a child’s attachment to their children. Children need eye contact with their parents and one-on-one attention in order to build a healthy relationship.
Parents who spend more time on social media tend to be more permissive in their parenting. They often engage with social media at younger ages than other parents, and often post pictures of their children on more public networks. However, sharing photos online may raise privacy concerns, especially for children who are still in their teens. Parents aren't always aware of all the potential dangers of sharing their children's pictures on social media.
Parental control apps
Parental control apps for Facebook allow parents to monitor their children’s use of the site and block them from accessing content they are not allowed to. These programs allow you to set time limits that limit your access to certain apps and sites. They monitor both the phone of the parent as well as the child remotely by installing apps.
These apps are not without their limitations. These apps can be used to monitor their children's internet activity, but it is important that parents talk with their children about the potential privacy and usage implications. Once your child becomes accustomed to using these applications, you should revisit the boundaries with them from time to time.
Parental sharing on Facebook
You can limit access to certain areas of social networking sites to help keep your children safe. One of the first things to do is disable location tagging. This feature should not ever be activated by children under 18. They should also not make their birthdays public. Other parental controls include limiting the posts they can make to friends and public.
Blocking people is another great way to limit the types of interactions that your child has with strangers. Then, when it comes to posting, you shouldn't include any information that could be used for cyberbullying. Lastly, your child should avoid sharing photos and videos that might be offensive to others.
Impact of social media on adolescent's understanding of branded posts
There have been a variety of recent studies that examined adolescents' understanding of brand posts. The majority of these studies looked at adolescents' perceptions about advertisements. However, some studies have shown that adolescents are less critical and more knowledgeable about the content of messages. One study revealed that adolescents only have a very limited understanding of integrated advertisement tactics. Another study indicated that adolescents' understandings of branded posts might be affected by their sex and their age.
Although these results are mixed, some studies have shown that social media use can benefit adolescents' well-being. Researchers have discovered that social media passive use can impact affective well-being. However the effects may differ depending on which adolescents are involved. Researchers examined six young adolescents six days a week to assess their vulnerability to social networking's influence on their mood and wellbeing. The positive correlation between social media use and adolescents' depressive symptoms and life satisfaction was small. These results may be due to differences between adolescents' susceptibility and social media use.
