As a result, many psychologists have expressed worry over the number of parents who may begin attempting to gain fame by forcing their children to model. Millennials have even termed these parents as “momagers” since they act as micromanagers in their children’s’ lives. Social media, and Instagram specifically, has become the prime tool for parents who believe that their kids have what it takes to make it big.
Over the next several years, experts are interested to observe the effects that this early introduction to the toxic effects of social media may have on children. Another factor that many have not accounted for is the rise of sexual predators across social media and the ways in which this may make their children more accessible to these dangerous criminals.
It’s impossible to tell who may be creeping through these innocent children photos, and psychologists are wary of the plethora of risks surrounding this undertaking.
