The Big Ban(g): Managing Social Media with Teens and Children

In this short talk, we look at social media from different angles. We start with a walk through the evolution of social media and learn why teens and children are attracted to it.

We explore the effects of social media on children and teens, first looking at the negatives, and then highlighting which groups are most at risk.

We finish by identifying positive influences and uses of social media, concluding by giving parents and teachers practical tips and tricks to help children and teens stay safe online and learn healthy social media habits.

    Thank you for an informative talk Dr. Downing. I recognised many of my learners in your descriptions and examples. I feel more equipped to be able to identify psycho-emotional challenges that learners may present with when it comes to cyber bullying and self image negativity.

    The PDF was very much detailed and on point. Makes a pleasant conversation starter with teens and highlights matter is a calm and not accusing manner. I learnt a lot and appreciate the pointers (straight forward and in easy language even if one was to share the notes with a teen),

    It offers good context on reasons why children should have limited access to social media
