Social media plays a big role in teens’ lives today. It’s where they connect with friends and family, celebrate major milestones, share everyday moments, and discover new passions and interests.

To help teens use social media safely and responsibly, National PTA and Instagram have partnered up to create this guide for parents and guardians.

In this guide, we focus on three ways to control your Instagram experience. You'll learn how to manage and talk to your teen about:

• Privacy
• Interactions
• Time

We've included the basics of the app, a description of the safety tools, plus a discussion guide for how parents can have an open conversation with their teens about Instagram.
