These recommendations are based on research and will help you and your children be smart users of social media， avoiding the harms， and gaining maximum benefits.

Parents should take a multipronged approach to social media management， including time limits， parental monitoring and supervision， and ongoing discussions about social media. As noted above， time limits can help teens with self-control and encourage moderate social media use. Limiting chat functions， especially among strangers， and limiting exposure to adult content is also recommended.

WHAT TO DO： Talk to your children weekly about how social media platforms work so they feel safe telling you about their experiences without judgment. Ask them what they saw on social media， how they understand what was posted， and pose hypothetical questions to them to learn how they would respond to various situations they might encounter online.

Model healthy social media use.
