I often get asked by parents who are very curious on their child’s knows and hows. Would my child like social media? Would my child be technically inclined? When should he/she start? 

Well, Chill… Do you know that you are freaking out your kids?

How many of you have ever asked or studied your kids true performance and skills. What are his/hers passion? What’s his/hers interest at? This are the first few questions that need to be answered first. 

When the question ” when should a child be exposed or be thought social media” asked. Well I get a bit hyped. It’s always against my policy to force any kid or in a matter of fact anyone something that they don’t like. 

Observe what your kid does first. If he or she has an interested on the social web or technology, then they would find their way on the web, on their own. And once they are on, they would find their ways to blogs such as mine for more info. It’s the same way how we all started. Trial & error fits the best.  

At the same time, do not aspect your kid to be inclined at the backbone of social media how to’s because that may not be he/she’s interest on. They would definitely use social media as it is a lifestyle today but there are other various blogs & networks to their interest that they would subscribe to. Its again their interest.

Some may prefer new media creation. Being a host. Entertaining a niched crowd. Some may prefer skilled work such as designing and engineering processes. Some may prefer entrepreneurial leadership contents. Minds are different. Do never force anyone at any time. 

Many are born to be leaders but parents who do not acknowledge that and presume that you know what’s best for your child might just ruin your child’s capabilities and future. Dear Parents, Think Again! It is your job to guide them to their interest with parental care until a day you should know when to completely let your child to be independent. 

On regarding social media, it’s common for teenagers to grab hold of it early in life. That’s good enough. A common understanding would already be there when its time for them to do something professional. Talking in this aspect, parents are also warned that the upcoming generations are to be maturing and prospering with mind blowing ideas very early in life. This has already been proven by genetical research. The upcoming generation at the age of 13 would think way ahead of what a man would think today at his mid 40’s. So parents, start opening up early.
