Parents should not have access to their child's

social media accounts because it invades their
privacy
While safety measures are important, one must draw the
line between what is necessary and what is just over-
protectiveness.
If you feel your child may be trying to hide something
from you, by all means talk to them about it but also
allow them to use social media without being snooped on
constantly.

By monitoring their children’s social media accounts,

parents may unintentionally communicate that they don’t
trust them to make good decisions online. This can lead to
a rift in the parent-child relationship and diminish the
level of trust and openness that should be present in the
household. Parents must trust their children and guide
them on safely and responsibly navigating social media.
Bằng cách theo dõi tài khoản mạng xã hội của con mình,
cha mẹ có thể vô tình truyền đạt rằng họ không tin tưởng
con sẽ đưa ra quyết định đúng đắn trên mạng. Điều này có
thể dẫn đến rạn nứt trong mối quan hệ cha mẹ và con cái
và làm giảm mức độ tin cậy và cởi mở cần có trong gia
đình. Cha mẹ phải tin tưởng con mình và hướng dẫn
chúng sử dụng mạng xã hội một cách an toàn và có trách
nhiệm.

Kids and teens often use slang and acronyms online, and
parents may not understand them. This can lead to
confusion and may cause unnecessary arguments and
conflicts. When parents don’t understand what their kids
are discussing, it can lead to assumptions and incorrect
accusations.
Trẻ em và thanh thiếu niên thường sử dụng tiếng lóng và
từ viết tắt trên mạng và cha mẹ có thể không hiểu chúng.
Điều này có thể dẫn đến sự nhầm lẫn và có thể gây ra
những tranh cãi, xung đột không cần thiết. Khi cha mẹ
không hiểu con mình đang nói gì, điều đó có thể dẫn đến
những giả định và buộc tội không chính xác.
When children feel like they are being monitored too
closely, they may begin to resent their parents and rebel.
This can lead to them going out of their way to hide
things from their parents, sneaking around, and engaging
in risky behaviors. When kids feel like they aren’t trusted,
they may begin to feel like they have something to hide,
even if they don’t.
Khi trẻ cảm thấy mình bị theo dõi quá chặt chẽ, chúng có
thể bắt đầu bực bội với cha mẹ và nổi loạn. Điều này có
thể dẫn đến việc chúng cố gắng giấu cha mẹ mọi thứ, lén
lút và tham gia vào các hành vi nguy hiểm. Khi trẻ cảm
thấy mình không được tin tưởng, chúng có thể bắt đầu
cảm thấy mình có điều gì đó muốn che giấu, ngay cả khi
thực tế không phải vậy.

Violates The Child’s Privacy And Autonomy

One of the biggest concerns with parents
monitoring social media is that it can violate a child’s
privacy and autonomy. Children have the right to
privacy and make their own choices. So, monitoring
their social media accounts can feel intrusive and
overbearing.

Hinders The Child’s Decision-Making Skills

When parents monitor their child’s social media
accounts, it can also hinder decision-making skills.
Children need to learn how to navigate social
situations and make responsible decisions
independently without relying on their parents to
intervene.
Privacy breach:

One of the main concerns with parental monitoring

is the potential invasion of privacy. Teens need a
certain degree of autonomy and space to develop
their own identities. Constant surveillance can hinder
their ability to freely express themselves and can
strain the parent-child relationship.

Inhibits independence and growth:

Excessive supervision can hinder a child's

independence and personal development.
Adolescence is an important period for self-
discovery and learning from your own mistakes.
Excessive supervision can prevent children from
developing the skills they need to navigate the
online world responsibly on their own.
Trust and honesty:

Over-monitoring can create an atmosphere of

mistrust and can prevent children from being open
and honest with their parents. It can lead to covert
behavior in which children seek to avoid surveillance,
undermining the intended goal of promoting
transparency and communication.

Developing digital resilience:

Protecting children from all online challenges can

cost them the opportunity to develop digital
resilience. Experiencing small setbacks or conflicts on
social media can teach them important life lessons,
such as conflict resolution, empathy, and self-
regulation
Open and honest communication:

Establish open channels of communication with your

children about social media use. Discuss the reasons
for supervision, set clear expectations, and address
any concerns they may have. Emphasize the
importance of trust and mutual respect in the
parent-child relationship.

Respect privacy boundaries:

Respect your child's need for privacy and personal

space. Avoid accessing private messages or
engaging in covert surveillance without their
knowledge. Encourage them to share their
experiences voluntarily and offer support when
needed.

Creates Mistrust And Resentment In The Child

Monitoring a child’s social media accounts can also
create a sense of mistrust and resentment in the
child. Children may feel their parents do not trust
them or are trying to control their lives. And at the
end, this can cause tension in the parent-child
relationship.

Causes Conflicts Between Parent And Child

Monitoring a child’s social media can also lead to
conflicts between parents and children. They may
not want their parents to know everything they are
doing online. Some children may feel like their
privacy is being invaded, and they can even fight
with their parents.

Leads To A False Sense of Security For Parents

Parents may also develop a false sense of security
when monitoring their child’s social media accounts.
While they can identify potential dangers or risks,
they cannot prevent all negative online behavior. So,
they can’t protect their child from every po-ten-tial
threat.

Causes Stress For Both Parents And Children

Mo-ni-toring a child’s social media accounts can also
cause anxiety and stress for parents and children.
Parents may feel overwhelmed by the amount of
information they are monitoring. However, children
may feel like they are constantly being watched and
judged.

Child View This As Intrusive And Overbearing

Children may also view their parents mo-ni-tor-ring
their social media accounts as intrusive and over-
bearing. They may feel like they have no control over
their online activities. They may also feel their
parents do not trust them to make responsible
decisions.
