The world as we know it is evolving at
a titanic rate, with the digital age
having reached it’s zenith.
It is a platform that lets users snap, edit, and share
photos and 15-second videos — either publicly or
with a network of followers. Its popularity lies in the
fact that it unites the most popular features of social
media sites: sharing, seeing, and commenting on
photos

. Instagram also lets you apply fun filters and effects
to your photos, making them look high-quality and
artistic. So one may ask how parents can exercise
supervision on the same.

9. 1. EXPLORE THE DIGITAL TEEN SCENE.
Teens are on the lookout for “Likes.”: Similar to Facebook,
teens may measure the “success” of their photos — even
their self-worth — by the number of likes or comments they
receive. Posting a photo or video can be problematic if teens
post it to validate their popularity.

10. 2. KNOW YOUR PARENTAL CONTROL
OPTIONS.
Public photos are the default: Photos and videos shared on
Instagram are public unless privacy settings are adjusted.
Hashtags and location info can make photos even more visible
to communities beyond a teen’s followers if his or her
account is public.

11. 3. SET A DIGITAL LIMIT.
Private messaging is now an option. Instagram Direct allows
users to send “private messages” to up to 15 mutual friends.
These pics don’t show up on their public feeds. Although
there’s nothing wrong with group chat, kids may be more
likely to share inappropriate stuff with their inner circles. Also,
strangers can send private messages to users.

12. 3. SET A DIGITAL LIMIT.
Mature content can slip in. The terms of service specify that
users should be at least 13 years old and shouldn’t post
partially nude or sexually suggestive photos — but they don’t
address violence, swear words, or drugs.

13. 4. ADVISE YOUR CHILD ON THE
IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY.
7. If your child lives in the U.S. and has their mobile phone
in their Facebook account, all they have to do is text “otp” to
32665 and they will receive a one-time password that is
good for 20 minutes. This is the safest way for them to log in
to Facebook from a public computer.

14. 4. ADVISE YOUR CHILD ON THE
IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY.
Parents should keep themselves aware of the privacy
settings and I turn share the same with their kids. Instagram
gives users two options: private or public. Either way, bios
are visible to all and can be where predators start looking
for underage victims. Couple that with geospotting, and
your child is all but a blinking target for cyberstalkers.

one another.

teens like it so much.

11. Finally, parents must always remind their children that
Facebook is a public and open forum, hence they should use
it cautiously and refrain from divulging too many details
about their private lives.

19. 4. ADVISE YOUR CHILD ON THE
IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY.
It’s a myth that Snapchats go away forever: Data is data.
Whenever an image is sent, it never truly goes away. (For
example, the person on the receiving end can take a
screenshot of the image before it disappears.) Snapchats can
even be recovered.

IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY.
It can make sexting seem OK. The seemingly risk-free
messaging might encourage users to share pictures containing
inappropriate content.

21. Many kids draw little distinction between
real life and online life. Whatever they’re
doing, they should understand that many
of these web pages can be viewed by
anyone with access to the Internet.
Parents should be aware of all the online
activities that their children do so that it is
easy for them to remain protected in this
age of numerous digital threats.
