Parents, at what age did you expose you children to social media?

My wife and I don’t use social media with our kids around and we haven’t yet decided when we are going to let them delve into this.

Social Media has become like Walmart and the Wild West. Parental Responsibility is paramount for the safety of their own Children, after all, they chose to bring them into the world. Responsible Parents don't allow their Children to go where you only have Adult Content. It's about Public Decency in front of Children. When you the Parent teach your Children in the way they should go, onto be productive Adults with Morals and Decency, you've fulfilled the responsibility that Parents themselves have for their Children.

Social Media only influences Children that aren't taught anything, if responsible Parents are teaching their own Children Right from Wrong, Social Media doesn't and cannot teach Children anything that Parents themselves don't want them to learn or perpetuate.

The most important lesson for Children is very clear; Don't do to Others what you yourself don't want done to you, very simple...

I was 12-13 when I went in on social networking on my besties computer.

I myself had no computer until I was 14. That's when I got MSN messenger.

My parents knew nothing what I did online or who that contacted me.

They exposed me. I think my daughter got me to start a Facebook account so she could add me as a friend.

The little sh*ts found it on their own! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
It's better coming from you than their peers.

My child is aware of it. She often scrolls insta with me for cute pet photos, but she's 7. If we do allow her to get her own, at age appropriate, we'll monitor it until she's old enough.
