JAKARTA - To coincide with the celebration of World Safer Internet Day, Meta shares practical guidelines for parents and guardians. This guide helps them in keeping teenagers while exploring the virtual world.
According to Meta, this guide is very important so that parents and guardians can create a healthier digital environment for teenagers. Here are some things parents can do to support the safety of children and adolescents on social media.
Building Closeness and Two-Way Communication
Parents are advised to continue to show curiosity about the hobbies and online communities that teenagers follow. By understanding the content they like, teenagers will feel more comfortable and open to telling stories.
A warm and honest discussion is considered the main key in building trust between parents and children. Parents can ask about their pleasant experiences while doing online activities.
Take advantage of the Automatic Protection Feature
Every user account under the age of 18 will automatically be included in the Teen Account category which has strict protection. This protection includes blocking messages from strangers and filtering content that is not suitable for teenagers.
In addition, all suspicious images that enter the private message column will be automatically blurred. With these various protections, make sure that the account your child uses is appropriate for his or her age category.
Set Healthy Screen Time
Meta provides a rest reminder feature that will appear automatically after teenagers use Instagram, Facebook, or other Meta platforms for 60 minutes. In addition, there is a Sleep Mode that will be active every 22.00 WIB to turn off notifications until the morning.
Parents can also use the supervision feature to set more specific daily time limits. This can help teenagers stay focused during study, mealtime, or night rest.
