Hello!

SOCIAL media for me is a beautiful platform if used right and worst if you choose the negatives. It all depends on how you choose to utilize this platform .I will answer your questions one after the other .

*social media can alter brain function as social media let's say Facebook or Instagram can get you so interested as some of the posts are very interesting and it can have positive affects on many parts of the brain .

*As you may know while we use some electronic medium for the furthur is he of social media we tend to sit ,stand,bend,and alter our sitting or standing or even sleeping positions to adjust and while most of these physical positions can be wrong it can affect our physical growth vs children who are normal with our social media or any other activities that can make then be in a uncomfortable situations for longer times.

*social media can be great if used positively as u mentioned earlier ,what you need to know is that social media allows to get in touch with multiple people and here you may also discover some great friends of which some become truly your bffs even in the real life and also social media helps you become a little social and also it gives you updated information about the society hence it makes it a little easy for you to communicate outside the virtual world.

*social media is just another name for opportunities ,the amount of contacts and connectivity you receive is amazing and as you may already know many many big talents have been discovered online and also it is great for kids with so many hidden talents to showcase it online if they are scared of the stage or if they do not find an actual opportunity ,social media can be a great confidence booster to many children out there .

* I feel that it is the macrosystem of Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory that comes into the picture as at this stage the child enjoys certain freedom such as the allowing from the government , here I mean certain things that are not forgotten for the child and here or can include social media and social media can have either positive or negative effects on a child and mostly if the child does not know to utilize this well he or she may get into trouble even mentally if they are exposed to any higher degree problems.

Thankyou, hope this helped!
