Teach your children to become responsible social media citizens on these safe family platforms. A good opportunity to get to know each other a bit better and spend time together. Whilst these web sites have strict safety rules of use, it is always best to login and test the web site yourself before showing your children how to use them. Teach your children to manage their online or screen time effectively. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommend not more than 2 hours of screen time a day for children over 2 years of age. Under 2 years it is recommended that they have no screen time.
