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)

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.

However, the statistics showed, that average pre-school child spend more than 2 hours per day on digital media.  (Poulain, 2021)  Although, it may seem, that media influence only children’s physical health because if they spend the time with media, they usually sit in front of computer or with their phone on sofa and do not move. The mental health issues are very serious as well. These problems can then occur especially in school, because the children suffer from hyperactivity, conduct problems, and inattention. Further, the overuse of media can influence children’s ability to communicate.  (Poulain, 2021)  This essay will focus on 3 main issues connected with children and media – violence in media and its impact on children, food advertisements and its impact on children’s health, and last but not least, on cyberbullying, which can have very dangerous an...
