"Social media is an important issue and it is not a fad; it is here to stay," said Marlene Huff, Kentucky Children's Hospital child and adolescent behavioural health therapist and associate director of the Division of Adolescent Medicine.
Huff says that social media is especially beneficial to the reserved children.
She highlights the importance of knowing how a child communicates with friends outside of school.
"In regular exams we ask children what their username and password is for their social media accounts, if they tell the truth about their age, if their parents are part of their 'friends' network, who their 'friends' are and if they are their age, and what they use the social networking sites for."
