Kids must have the skills to safely use social media rather than 'banning' it

Headspace’s Head of Clinical Leadership Nicola Palfrey says we shouldn’t ban children on social media. This comes amid concerns over the use of social media by children. “I don’t think bans tend to work very well,” Ms Palfrey told Sky News Australia. “We want to be curious, understand what young people are accessing and why they’re interested in connecting online.” “Also give them the skills to notice when its working for them – are they coming off feeling really proud of themselves or … feeling isolated.”
