TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Social media: challenges and concerns for families JO - Pediatric clinics of North America A1 - O'Keeffe, Gwenn Schurgin SP - 841 EP - 849 VL - 63 IS - 5 N2 - This article explores the impact of social media on child development and family health. Why do we allow our children to use social media sites before their privacy policies allow? Why do we let them lie about their ages to use these sites? What is it about technology that lets us bend these rules in a way we would never do in the unplugged world? Gaining insight into the answers to these questions and what is positive and negative about social media and the digital world allows us to talk to families about this world, allay their concerns, and keep children of all age safe when using social media.
