About this listen

In just a few days, a law banning the use of social media for under 16s will take effect in Australia.

For many parents, social media has been a daily part of family life for years - allowing kids to stay connected with their friends and family, sharing life updates with people they may not get a chance to speak with very often.

Generations before have been relatively ignorant to just how seriously harmful it can be - figuring if they just keep open communication with their kids then they should be fine.

But younger millennial and gen Z parents seem to be recognising the dangers, and most often opting to keep their kids offline.
