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.

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.

@V00doo But decide what apps she has?
@WintaTheAngle Definitely. Even when she's on youtube we monitor it but shes got good at blocking etc... if it's not appropriate

@V00doo Ah I see. Our kids are so switch on and ready to copy us that we don’t use it around them. Monkey see monkey do.
