How could you respond and what could you add to the following discussion.

I believe that keeping an available line of communication for young people is the best shot we have at helping them absorb the exposure to potentially inappropriate behaviors, substances, or illegal activity. The American Psychological Association (2023) suggests that it is important to remember that young minds are especially vulnerable, monitoring the exposure and use is recommended, modeling healthy behavior, keep an eye on capably harmful social media use, and explaining to children how social media works.

I remember growing up my parents being completely taken aback when they realized some of the activities I was participating in, which had already become so normal to my reality that I was in disbelief they would question my judgement. Establishing a relationship with a child to be supportive as they go through our ever-changing world is extremely important to help catch them when they find themselves uncomfortable with their surroundings.

What guidelines would you provide to parents whose children fall in this age range on media exposure?
