If we can use social media for the right thing, that will really help us communicate. But unfortunately, in the wrong hands, social media can be used as a tool to commit a crime as we see that many of them spread bad words or promote something that it should not see by any ages, especially for a younger. I also use social media to communicate with many of my family members, and I know that I do not have to use it all day long.
We should know how to treat social media not to disturb our real life and balance our lives. So when one of our friends or families gets something bad, we can support them and still hold them not to go down. And if it's necessary, we can go to their home to give direct help so they can solve the problem.
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.
If you can take care of your child, I am sure they will not try to do something bad. That is just TikTok and Instagram. How if our child coincidentally visiting online gambling that we do not know? That will make them curious and will try to play because we know that kids in this era are too smart and full of curiosity and they will find out by themselves. The internet can give a good thing, but it also gives a bad thing to all people, not just a child, so it will be our responsibility to warn, tell, and care with our kids so they do not try to make something wrong. This pandemic needs our concern to be careful and not let our family do something that can make us get a bad thing.
