SPECIAL EDITION: "Let them be kids" - Should we change the age of Social Media access?

There's a lot of debate, concern, questions and demands for the age at which kids can access social media to be lifted from 13 up to 16 right now. I understand where this is coming from, and the heartache that drives it. But will it work. I've produced this special edition podcast to help me, Trevor Long, understand the issue, and if a change will work. Rather than just banging on about it myself, I'm joined by experts in Digital Parenting and Cyber issues for Teens, to help explain what is going on with kids, how this might help, but also what gaps it might expose. I did this to better educate myself, but I think it will help educate us all. Feedback is welcome, from parents, kids, no matter if you agree, disagree, have ever seen issues or have never seen issues - get in touch - text me on 0477 657 657
