Actress Jennifer Garner opened up about keeping her children off of Social media.
On Tuesday, Garner, 50, appeared on the “Today” show and spoke about how she handled that talk with her children.
“I just said to my kids, ‘Show me the articles that prove that Social media is good for teenagers, and then we’ll have the conversation,'” Garner told co-hosts, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. “Find scientific evidence that matches what I have that says that it’s not good for teenagers, then we’ll chat.”
However, the mom of three said her oldest daughter, Violet, was appreciative of the restriction.
“My eldest is grateful,” Garner said. “It’s a long haul. I have a couple more to go, so just knock on wood.”
She added, “We’ll see if I really hang in there.”
According to MayoClinic.org, Social media can impact teenagers negatively by “distracting them, disrupting their sleep, and exposing them to bullying, rumor spreading, unrealistic views of other people’s lives and peer pressure.”
