Dear Parents, Guardians, Grand Parents, Friends etc..
We all know what a crazy couple years it has been. So many of us use some type of social media to share, communicate and unfortunate obtain our “news” from social media. It can be a real struggle for mature functioning adults to manage.
Imagine being in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade. Not even remotely mature enough to process worldly events, news, issues as adults can. Or as adults even struggle to process. More and more kids seem to be using social media to communicate with their friends, follow strangers on Instagram etc, search the WWW for any topic they can imagine and have easy access to Porn on their devices.
Almost daily I have children come to me upset about something a peer sait to them, about them on Tik Tok or some other social media. Children telling other children to harm themselves. Children telling other children to give up on their lives. Talking about sex to fellow 5th graders.
There CAN be positive sides to social media. But I assure you majority of kids use their social media to put others down.
Any questions, please reach out to me directly.
