As a father, I have been thinking a lot about social media. Why do our kids waste so much time on them? Maybe it’s because they’re not all bad. For all the harm social media can do to our kids, it can also do a lot of good—if we teach them to use it wisely.

1. Community

Social media may be the only best way to stay in contact with family and friends who you can’t see often. Just like the Christmas cards you may receive, there’s a chance for you to learn about what’s happening in their lives. It can also be a supplement(补充) to face-to-face communications. What’s more, social media allows you to meet other people across the world who share a common hobby.

2. Personal Expression

All kids want to be able to express themselves. For example, they may want to dress themselves, pick out their own shoes, or paint their room a new color. Social media can be a way for your kids to express what’s meaningful to them. What they write, post, or take part in will help you learn what they think is important.

3.   ▲   

Advice and life skills are all over social media, and some content(内容) can even go deeper into educational chances. These can help develop new interests or lead to a deeper love for things your kids have already been learning. This content can even serve as an introduction to some future jobs they’re interested in.
