Key Wellness & Self-Care Strategies for Using the Internet/Social Media Healthily

Use with awareness of time and purpose

  • Limit online time reasonably.
  • Make sure digital activities are beneficial rather than excessive.

Apply digital ethics

  • Interact politely and responsibly online.
  • Don’t spread false information or hoaxes.
  • Don’t bully others.
  • Don’t share content that violates laws or social norms.
  • Protect your own privacy and others’ privacy.

Build digital literacy (critical thinking)

  • Verify information and sources.
  • Avoid getting trapped by sensational headlines.
  • Learn how to evaluate whether content is valid and reliable.

Guard against digital threats

  • Use strong password protection.
  • Avoid sharing personal data carelessly.
  • Use appropriate privacy settings on social media.

Manage screen time with guidelines

  • Children (2–5 years): max 1 hour/day
  • School-age children & teenagers: max 2 hours/day (outside school needs)

Support—not ban—children’s technology use

  • Use parental control features to:
    • limit content,
    • set allowed times,
    • monitor activity.
  • Be a digital role model: adults with healthy habits help shape children’s online behaviors.

Use practical habit-building methods

  • Create a device-use schedule that balances online time with offline activities (exercise, reading, and direct social interaction).
  • Try digital detox: pause gadgets for hours or days to let mind and body rest.
  • Plan together activities without gadgets, such as:
    • family dinners without phones,
    • weekends without the internet,
    • a “No Gadget Zone” at home.
  • Hold open discussions about the benefits and risks so parents and children can share, reflect, and adjust.
  • Regularly evaluate screen time
    • Use screen-time monitoring apps to identify patterns and improve habits.

Core Message

The internet and social media are not inherently harmful—they can improve education, work networking, business promotion, communication, and entertainment when used wisely and responsibly.

The risks—such as addiction, sleep issues, anxiety/low self-esteem, cyberbullying, exposure to harmful content, misinformation, and fraud—can be reduced through:

  • ethics,
  • digital literacy,
  • supervision,
  • structured, balanced habits.
