To the parents out there... instead of pointing fingers at social media, let's point a thumb back at ourselves and realize that we're in control of what our children watch and consume... let's actually be willing to "parent" our kids instead of placing blame, really think this will hit a chord with many of you 💜💜💜
I Think modern parenting over the last 20 years has softened so dramatically that many parents are mad at Tick Tock and Instagram and social media without realizing they have 100 control of deleting it off their child's phone. They have 100 control of taking their child's phone away for a month if they choose to. So guiding my children for me, it's actually paying attention and caring to what they're consuming. I Think parenting in 2023 has become too passive has been too conducive to being your kid's friend instead of your kid's parent.
and I would argue that until we get back to full accountability, we will continue to blame politics a mainstream media social media Tick Tock Facebook Mark And we're blaming And we're blaming Yet every parent that's watching this right now has control because they're the parent. So my point of view on this is: parents need to step up in a significant way. be willing to be inconvenienced of their child being upset with them, and actually parent.

Agree 💯. Leed by example too. Put the darn phone away! It's the ruination of the entire society. Just that simple.
If the environment have more influence than your parent skill you failed as a parent
Very good advice but a bit late for me😢
