B
Technology has made it easier than ever to keep watch on your kids. And over half of parents say they check their teen’s social media accounts. Celebrities aren’t immune to the temptation to spy either—baseball analyst Alex Rodriguez admitted he used a fake account to follow his daughters.
The reality is, your child’s activity can provide insights into whether or not they are experiencing issues—and social media use can even be a reason for them. Before teenagers get keys to a car, they need to receive driver’s education and pass a road test. They don’t usually receive the same education before getting a phone or social media access. So it’s a great idea to teach kids how to stay safe on social media and use it responsibly. But should you really be scrolling through your kid’s social feeds?
“What you need to do is monitor your children, rather than spy and invade their privacy,”says Gall Saltz, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry.“The former means checking about once per week rather than daily,”he adds.“You can use an app to follow teenagers on social media, or request passwords. But you should always be transparent with your child and avoid using fake accounts. You can say,‘I’m happy to rent you this phone that we are providing to you. With the terms of use, we are going to provide monitoring, just to make sure you are safe’,”suggests Dr Strohman, a clinical psychologist.
There can be lines with what a parent should monitor. Dr Saltz advises against looking at text messages, which are private conversations. On the other hand, there are also times when a parent can go further than promised. If a teen is exhibiting signs of a serious issue, parents may want to see previously off-limits digital activity like texts.“If you think your child might take his/her life or do something really dangerous, I say all bets are off.”says Dr Saltz.“But always make sure to talk to the child first before taking any other step.”
