My 8 year old child has been unable to go to school for more than a year because the government in my country still prohibits children from going
to school. So my child spends a lot of time at home, and my child has understood using various social media, especially my son is actively using
TikTok and Instagram. As you said, there are some people who use social media for bad purposes. There are some grown men who share photos
that are not good for 8 year olds to see, and it's my job as a parent to monitor what my children do on the internet. If we're not careful, social media
can be dangerous. so use social media wisely. Likewise, playing online gambling will have a bad risk if it is not limited, remember that
something excessive is not good. Because of the pandemic situation we do spend a lot of time at home, but that doesn't mean most of
the time we have is used for gambling.
I suggest that you should keep your child away from social media platforms because that's not a healthy way for a child to do during his/her developing years, try to limit your child's screen time.
We can't do much around the house so we try to find ways to pass our time and gambling is double edged sword of a choice because doing too much is going to be problematic.
Thank you friend for the advice, indeed I should start limiting my child in using social media, because it is feared to bring bad influence.
That's why I started to spend a lot of time with my children right now, so that slowly the time to access social media can be much reduced.
I agree that gambling is like a double edged sword, if we are not careful we can endanger ourselves. Therefore I limit myself when playing
online gambling, I currently only play on weekends and use the extra money I have when playing gambling.
