That’s why I started and continued to talk to my two sons about it from a very young age (5 years old). Now they are teenagers and don’t have any online problems.
I agree. One of my sons doesn’t want to use social media (he tried several and didn’t like any of them). My other son only uses Reddit to find interesting things and information in niche subjects (he rarely interacts with anyone on the platform).

It’s not enough just to discuss it in the abstract, they need to interact with it in a controlled environment
