After yesterday’s message regarding TikTok videos, I want to make sure you have some tips and resources for safe and healthy social media usage at home. Although elementary students may not be using TikTok specifically, students at this age are still aware of social media and are accessing media in others ways. Common Sense Media is a great resource for families on how to manage media usage at home. Here are some simple tips to make sure your child is using media in a safe and healthy way:
 
  • Set up social media/gaming accounts together
  • Remind your child not to share their password
  • Do your research. Make sure the social media site or game is age appropriate and familiarize yourself with the parental controls.
  • Set time limits. Make sure there is time for online and offline play.
  • Show your child how to flag inappropriate content or conduct.
  • Provide supervision for online play
  • Keep your computer in a central place. This makes supervision easier.

It can often be difficult to keep up with all the different games and social media websites. Here are a couple articles from Common Sense Media that I find useful.
  • HERE is an article with a list of some social media/gaming websites for kids.
  • HERE is an article with some tips about how to talk with your child about what apps/games they’re using.
