I was playing games since I was 4 or something like that on my dad’s laptop

This isn’t the 80s anymore. The internet is a part of their lives and intertwined with their childhood. They’ll be exposed to it from birth.

Personally, I was already online watching p*** at age 6 and 7. I’m not going to gatekeep or hide the internet from my kids. If they have questions or show interest then I’ll teach them how to navigate responsibly.

Around 5 years old is a good time to start acclimating them

Videogames are fine by me as long as the kid is physically active

U can’t compare a videogame that’s really either just forcing reflexes or critical thinking or both to social media which reinforces nothing but the wrongest of the wrong ideals

Ideally I want my kid to be 15-16. But that’s probably impossible.

I will definitely try my best to keep my children in a healthy state of mind & active w multiple real hobbies from an early age. So they never feel the need to turn to social media.

Just talking about social media. They gotta be 14 .

ideally, never. it should be a closed off utility like using an atm

10 with a strict filter. 16 with limited if not one at all.

Supervised around 8 but only doing s*** like coolmathgames and funbrain and s*** like that. Around 12-14 for social media and the rest like that with around 15 with no types of supervision at all after thoroughly informing the dangers of the internet in previous years.

i would probably get rid of my smart phone if i had a kid tbh. only have one computer in the house, used as the utility it was first envisioned as, rather than the ever present temptation it's turned into. just raise my kid in such a "radical" way that they have the best shot of never falling prey to modern internet culture and social medias. be the most involved and loving father i can be.

lmao f*** them kids tho never having a bloodsucker

Letting the kid browse whatever but educate them on Internet usage like how not to waste your time browsing and using it a tool and resource

About 4-5 gotta get the little one started early with his/her daily fresh and fit can’t have them being a simp/hoe

You would have to homeschool. Because kids in school have iPads and s*** like that too.

How would you deal with kid being bullied for his absence on social media in school?

Extreme case imho but it's possible they would feel missing out since their friends are on it. Peer pressure is arguably at its peak with those age

This a tough question tbh. I would like to say i'd allow them to be on it whenever and just block p*** websites and stuff but im sure they'd find loopholes to it.

Like 15/16 but it depends on the kid

we ignoring the fact a whole generation of elementary kids just took classes on the internet for a year

16

they gotta wait til their teens to have unfiltered internet

I got the I love you virus at 12

I’ve been seeing f***ed up s*** on the internet since I was like 9 or 10 (older cousins). Plus I had no business DL p*** before I could even produce sperm lol

By time I was 15 I’ve seen damn near the worst of the worst just by browsing f***ed up sites with my friends. And that s*** is not good for you at all, like there was a point where I felt nothing when I see whatever horrific thing I saw on Twitter & wondering why there’s such an uproar. My initial reaction would be “I’ve seen worse” and keep scrolling

So glad that part of me has been out my system & actually have empathy ans sadness to whatever I see that’s on my TL randomly

Because of that I’d probably keep my kids s*** kinda restricted until they are like freshmen in high school? Not sure cause it’s mostly social media to worry about nowadays & it’s hard to keep kids away from that s*** who knows

First of all I would have the internet conversation. Don’t give your number out . Don’t meet up with anyone online.

Kids can be dumb AF.

But I would allow an iPad around the age of 10.

Guess it would depend on how u define what 'being on the internet' means

If it means being on social media and interacting with society, i'd say mid teens.

If you're just talking browsing and playing games, as young as they're able... Parental Control software is plentiful these days. Like imagine kids 25 years ago duping their parents with doing bad s*** online, now they're grown up and they know exactly how to counter all the bullshit kids will try n pull.

n I feel like most online communities do a good job of self filtering themselves in terms of age because it's pretty easy to spot someone who's way too young so I think you'll always be exiled to your kid bubble until you're of a certain maturity.

I remember being a kid and always getting kicked off of forums and other communities until I was an older teen because people could immediately see by what I wrote that I was like 11.
