<p>You might believe that you are keeping your child busy by distracting them with your phone or laptop, or by introducing them to social media, but all of this is doing them more harm than good. <br /><br /></p>

Social Media
Around six months ago, a 12-year-old student posted a comment comparing the nose of his classmate with a sexual organ. By the time, the 12-year-old realised his mistake, it was too late as the post had spread like wildfire among his classmates, and friends of the victim, who by then, had become the centre of jokes.

The victim suffered some very serious image issues, to the point that he actually began to believe in it. He is currently undergoing therapy. This unsavoury incident could have easily been prevented had the two kids not have access to Facebook. But as shocking as it may sound, this is not a unique case.
