Parents who don’t allow kids to have smartphones say social media ban would ease their minds
She said she set a boundary with her 12-year-old daughter Lyra early on, but it’s much harder for parents who only realize the detrimental effects of social media after buying their kids a smartphone. Jennifer Gill, who lives in Charlottetown, P.E.I., says she knew from the time her three youngest kids — who range in age from 12 to 14 — were little that she wouldn’t let them use social media until they were adults. Even Snow, who has gone out of her way to learn about the effects of social media on kids, said her efforts to keep her daughter off of the apps have sometimes been in vain.
