Facebook Depression: Are Your Kids at Risk?

by Lisa Collier Cool

Social media networking is a great way to connect with friends. The conversation
never stops; just check the popular sites every dayFacebook, Twitter, and
othersand your kids are always invited to the party. These tips can help protect
against Facebook depression and other online risks:

Balance media use with offline interactions. The number one cause of Facebook depression, says
Dr. Wood, is lack of healthy socializing in the real world. Since kids learn from their parents, let them see
you taking the initiative to get together with friends in person, and encourage your children to invite their
friends over instead of solely communicating through texts, Facebook updates, and cell phone calls.
Give your family well-rounded social experiences. It may take planning and work to organize family
outings, but both kids and adults will be physically and emotionally healthier for it. Go to museums, take
hikes, visit relatives and eat family meals togetherwhile taking a break from technology use.
Keep computers in a public part of your home, such as the family room. That helps you keep an
eye on how much time your kids are spending online. The AAP reports that 22 percent of teens log on
to their favorite social media site more than ten times a day and more than 50 percent do so at least
twice a day. Many kids spend up to seven hours a day online, researchers report, upping risk for both
depression and childhood obesity.

Monitor media use. Establish a policy that you and your child friend each other on each social media
site your kids use. This will help provide checks and balances, by making you part of your childs online
social circle. Also consider using monitoring systems to track your kids email, chat, IM and image
content. Log off computers at night and confiscate kids cell phones at bedtime, to avoid sleep
deprivation from late night texting and emails.

Help your child realize that whats projected online may not
be real. On social media, people can be anything they like
sexier, smarter, more popular, even better looking than in real life.
People can brag, exaggerate and even lie about their hot dates,
party invitations, and how much fun theyre having. Thats the
problem with not connecting face-to-face: you cant tell reality from
fantasy, another good reason to guide family members toward
focusing on real-life experiences and relationships.

Watch out for red flags. Warning signs that your child is spending too much time online include
skipping activities, meals and homework in favor of social media usage, weight loss or gain, and a drop
in grades. These may signal social media or Internet addiction, says the AAP. Talk to your child daily
about social media use to keep yourself in the loop. And if he or she develops symptoms of depression,
such as crying, low energy, trouble concentrating, frequent headaches or stomachaches, irritability, or
chronic sadness lasting for two or more weeks, consult a doctor.
