Parents' participation on social media
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 shows that social media can affect a child’s security and attachment. For a child to develop a healthy relationship with his parents, they need regular eye contact, one-on-1 time and undivided attention.
Parents who spend more time on social networking sites are more likely to adopt permissive parenting styles. They are more likely to engage on social media at a younger age than their peers and to post pictures of their children on larger networks. Sharing photos online can pose privacy concerns, especially for teens. Parents may not be aware of the risks associated with sharing photos of their children on social media.
Parental control applications
Social media parental control apps help parents monitor their children and prevent them viewing inappropriate content. These programs can also set time limits to restrict access to certain sites and apps. They monitor both the phone of the parent as well as the child remotely by installing apps.
These apps offer many benefits but also have their drawbacks. They can be useful for parents to keep an eye on their children online, but it is also important to discuss with them how these apps might affect their privacy. After your child has become accustomed to using these apps, you will need to review the boundaries periodically with them.
Facebook parental sharing
Restricting access to certain sections of the site is one of the best ways for your children to stay safe on social networking sites. You should disable location-tagging immediately. Children under 18 should never have this feature turned on. Children under 18 years old should not have their birthdays made public. You can also limit the number of posts they can make public to friends or public.
You can block people as a way to limit the interactions between your child and strangers. If you are posting, please don't include any information which could be used for cyberbullying. Lastly, your child should avoid sharing photos and videos that might be offensive to others.
Influence of social media on adolescents' understandings of brand posts
There are a number of studies that have examined the understanding of adolescents about branded 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 found that adolescents only have an incomplete understanding of integrated advertising strategies. Another study found that adolescents may have a limited understanding of brand posts due to their sex and age.
Although the results may not be conclusive, there are some studies that show social media can have a positive impact on 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. For one week, researchers evaluated six adolescents and assessed their vulnerability to the effects of social media on their moods. Although social media use did correlate positively with adolescents’ life satisfaction and depressive symptoms however, the effects were modest. These results may be due to differences between adolescents' susceptibility and social media use.
