What's the conclusion based on the research?
Right now it’s easier for children to get in touch with harmful online content. Especially social medias like TikTok and instagram have no limitations for children. From the research, children often get unwelcome contacts, hate speech and other harmful contents online that will endanger their thoughts and their mental health.

One in five parents regularly struggle to have a meaningful conversation with their child, according to new research. The study of 2,000 parents of school-aged children examined how modern families find time to sit down and talk to one another amid often frantic routines. The results showed parent/child relationships can be quite a challenge to create and maintain
