Experts advise against banning kids from group chats
Original: Mental health experts say you shouldn’t ban your kid from group chats. Here’s what to do instead
Mental health experts say parents should not simply ban their children from group chats. Instead, they recommend staying engaged: talking openly about what happens in them, teaching kids how to handle conflict and difficult messages, and setting guidance together rather than imposing outright bans. The advice reflects concern that cutting children off from digital social spaces can isolate them from friendships and discourage them from seeking help when problems arise.
Why now: Parents are looking for practical guidance on managing children's online social lives amid growing concern about social media's effects on youth mental health.
