My teens growing in the era of the internet caused me anxiety

The internet and not knowing what my kids are watching causes me huge anxiety. DD15 had a few issues with self harm in the past; we have been on top of it, offer love and support and she has gone over it.

She has restrictions, limits on her mobile; we have spoken with her but you never really know what they are watching. Their brains are developing and they are so susceptible and influenced by other factos.

How do your kids safe online? Do you allow Tik Tok, snap chat? She has limits but I can’t completely forbid it; can I?

Title means to say cause me huge anxiety and stress.

The dr was telling me yesterday that there is lots of content out there in schools being shared, promoting suicide and self harm.
