Instagram is a rapidly growing social media platform that could become the largest network for social and business connections in the coming years. Its raw material is photographs.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this image-driven culture, it is no surprise to find tweens and teens with Instagram<\/em> accounts filled with hundreds of images and thousands of followers. Instagram<\/em> is used for chatting, exchanging information, sharing photos, showcasing personal life, posting inspiring quotes, and building self-image, which is why it is a favorite among young people.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why, as parents, it can be stressful when our son or daughter asks for a smartphone and then opens an account on Instagram or TikTok\u2014because everyone else has one<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Countless questions arise at this point: Are they old enough? Will they know how to use it? What if it is dangerous? What if someone contacts them and deceives them? What if they post photos that are not “appropriate”? What if… What if…\u2060What if….<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This issue should concern us as responsible adults: giving a child a mobile phone (or a tablet) is like giving them access to the entire world. Just as we teach them to cross the street when we start walking to the park, it is our responsibility to educate them on the use of social media<\/strong> and accompany and supervise them\u2014not only to ensure their safety but also to help them enjoy and make the most of new technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, I invite you to reflect on this topic. You can download the excellent Parent’s Quick-Guide to Instagram<\/em><\/a> (Spanish) by ConnectSafely <\/a>and Prot\u00e9geles<\/a>. This guide will help you teach them how to use Instagram and other social media platforms safely and responsibly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instagram<\/em> is not just a game. It is a tool for communicating with EVERYONE, so as a parent, do not remain anonymous\u2014stand by their side. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do not prohibit its use, as they may seek out other less recommended or uncontrolled alternatives. Prohibiting social media today is like prohibiting socialization, as it has partly replaced the street. This requires a shift in attitude: there is no specific age to allow access to social media. The right age is when you, as an adult, create an environment of trust to accompany and guide your children.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To do this, start now by opening an Instagram<\/em> account, learning how to use it, educating yourself in visual culture, and guiding your children\u2014this is your responsibility. <\/span><\/p>\n
