This week we discussed whether there should be an Instagram for children. Before we met we all researched the pros and cons for this and thought carefully about whether it was safe for children to have access to their own Instagram accounts.
Here are some of the reasons we talked about:
Pros
- Keep in contact with friends and family
- Parental controls can make sure it's safe.
- Trust
- Responsibility
- To find out more about the world
- Learning from a young age self control on how long to spend on screens
Cons
- Unsafe
- Too much screen time
- Cyber bullying
- Don't know who you are talking to online
- exposed to things that aren't always appropriate
What do you think?
