For every harmless or well-intentioned challenge, there are darker social media challenges, too. What’s more, with how prominent the internet is, it’s easy for your children or teens to get caught up in these challenges.

Instagram is popular. In fact, there are over 1 billion active members in 2021. Now, while the average age-range of those users is 25-34, Instagram’s terms of use allow anyone over 13 to have an account. However in our view, just because it may be allowed, doesn’t mean that it is necessarily a good idea!

The internet is vast — with over 1 billion destinations on the World Wide Web. With that, it’s often hard to track what your children or teens are up to online. For all you know, they could be victims of cyberbullying. What’s worse, if they are, chances are they won’t tell you about it.

If you’re here, it’s no doubt because your child has found their way onto Snapchat — the popular iOS and Android app developed by Evan Spiegel and other founders back in 2009. Now, let us be the first to tell you: ​as a parent, whatever concerns you may have about Snapchat aren’t unwarranted. For, like with all social media types, be it Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, Snapchat can be a huge problem for young kids.
