I recently came across an insightful lesson in "How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age" that I felt compelled to share. The book highlights how President Lincoln masterfully communicated by taking time to calm down before speaking, knowing precisely when to voice his thoughts and when to remain silent. He weighed every word carefully, understanding the power of language and its impact on others. This lesson is vital for both children and adults in today's digital world. Rather than defaulting to restrictive age limits, what if we encouraged moments of pause and reflection on potentially inappropriate social media content? This approach could foster education and understanding, rather than rebellion and secrecy. Imagine if parents had access to tools and support from third-party resources such as Yoochooz to guide their children in real-time before a message is sent. This could create a more constructive environment for discussing social media challenges and developing responsible usage habits. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this proposal. Do you believe government imposed bans are the answer, or would a more educational approach be more effective? https://lnkd.in/g5NEZMKc
