<strong>How</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>Social</strong> <strong>Media</strong> <strong>Networking</strong><br />

The Internet has opened up the world to kids who can now interact and gain information<br />

<strong>from</strong> friends <strong>from</strong> around the world and <strong>from</strong> many differing social backgrounds. Of<br />

course, there are risks associated with online child relationship interaction, but benefits<br />

can far outweigh those risks, especially if parents take the appropriate steps to monitor<br />

their children’s activities. Here are some of the many advantages and benefits that kids<br />

can access through the Internet <strong>from</strong> their computers, laptops and smart devices<br />

purchased through Siimba.<br />

<strong>Social</strong> <strong>Media</strong> Allows Children to Stay In Touch<br />

Life doesn’t always remain confined to local neighbourhoods and communities and this<br />

is especially true in today’s broad and fast-paced world. Parents work away <strong>from</strong> home<br />

for long periods of time or become separated or divorced. Family networks fan out<br />

across the globe leaving kids disassociated with aunts, uncles, cousins and other family<br />

units. Even close friends move away or head out to chase plans via university or other<br />

distant opportunities. <strong>Social</strong> media allows kids to stay in touch with family and close<br />

friends, regardless of where they may be.<br />

<strong>Social</strong> <strong>Media</strong> Builds Self-Confidence<br />

Children that increase their online social circles expand their self-confidence. By<br />

learning to engage in conversations with a variety of people, judge character, sharpen<br />

intuition, etc, kids are better prepared to confidently strike out to university or<br />

participate in local sports, clubs and other social face-to-face activities.<br />

<strong>Social</strong> <strong>Media</strong> Expands Knowledge<br />

Speaking of university, kids that are active on the Internet and in social media circles<br />

rapidly expand their knowledge base as they browse for information or gain insight<br />

<strong>from</strong> their friends. <strong>Kids</strong> utilising the Internet today glean an abundance of knowledge<br />

about cultures, technologies, products and services, as well as being more literate and<br />

insightful.<br />

<strong>Social</strong> <strong>Media</strong> Provides Support<br />

It can be extremely difficult for adolescents and teens to express their thoughts and<br />

feelings. <strong>Social</strong> media provides a variety of ways that allow kids to express themselves<br />

<strong>from</strong> the security of their homes or other familiar places. <strong>Social</strong> media also provides<br />

groups that target specific interests and subjects, so that kids can become involved with<br />

people of similar interest. Throughout the process, they also gain new ideas, opinions<br />

and viewpoints that expand their outlook on the world.<br />

These are just a select few of the many advantages that social media provides kids in<br />

today’s expanding world. A vast selection of products allowing kids to tap into the<br />

potential of the Internet can be purchased at deep discounts <strong>from</strong> Siimba. The club’s


unique <strong>Social</strong> Challenge makes obtaining their favourite products fun through a<br />

programme based on sharing.
