WHAT THE EXPERT SAY II

 Mari Radzik, a clinical psychologist in the division of adolescent and young adult medicine at Children’s hospital in Los Angeles says, that “the reality is that social media is part of the world we live in, and it’s nothing away.” (Preidt, 2022)And Dr. Radzik advices, how should parents help their children in dealing with media. Due to the media, teenagers can suffer from many issues, such as “changes in mood, eating and sleeping habits, as well as isolating in their room.” (Preidt, 2022) So, Dr. Radzik recommends to parents, that they should begin a discussion with their teenagers by using “I” instead of “you”. Parents should try to start the conversation with “I noticed this and I am really worried. Can we talk about it?” (Preidt, 2022) instead of, “You’re on Instagram way too much and that’s bad for you,” (Preidt, 2022) Dr. Radzik says. And he also emphasizes, that children always have to know, that their parents are always here for them. Further, the lead social worker in the division of psychiatry at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, Sarah Voyer, says, that parents should pay attention and control, what type of media their children use. Also, they should follow the same stuff to be able to understand their children and be able to help them in any situation, recommends Voyer. (Preidt, 2022)

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY I

  A child psychologist Kate Eshleman, PsyD, talks about the dangers, which social media can bring to children, how we suppose to talk to children, how we should keep them safe, and how to explain, that they should not take everything much seriously on the social media.     The majority of social media are conditioned by an age limit, usually 13 years. But currently, 33% of children between the age 7 to 9 have at least one social media app, and 50% of children between the age 10 to 12 use at least one social media platform. Dr. Eshleman says: “Social media makes it easy to compare oneself to another,”  (Pediatrics, 2021)  the she continues with: “most people put on social media what they want to see. And by using social media, all of us have the ability to access endless information anytime we want to and that can be very hard for kids.”  (Pediatrics, 2021)  With that being said, it is obvious, that to orient in the field of media is very hard for child...
