Crédit : 1000 Words / ShutterstockFirst, it is forbidden to use Facebook before the age of 13. So, if you listen to your child who claims to be the only one in school with no Facebook account and decide to give him one anyway, you will have to lie about his date of birth. It will give a bad example from the start.
Remember that the age of 13 wasn’t chosen randomly. It was decided because younger children are not mature enough to be there, because of what they could write but also because of what they could read. Facebook is not all innocent and Friends of Friends will not be careful because of your child when they post and leave comments.
Finally, children often bully each other on Facebook. When your child will be old enough to have his own account, show him how to hide content from specific people and how to filter his friends. Also, tell your children to avoid ganging up on someone on Internet. If they did, it would sooner or later be their turn and it’s not a very nice experience.
