Though not all is bad with these networking sites as they also help people be in touch and for parents to be aware of their child’s whereabouts. But, it cannot be debated that they are a source of great distraction. A previous study shows that parents of 12 to 18-year-olds are more worried about their children’s use of social media than about drugs or alcohol.

However, not all is lost. Research shows that there are applications which can help kids leave these habits. These 4 apps can offer inspiration and help children learn new things.

In order to make sure young individuals make best of their free time, these apps and platforms for parents help kids improve their knowledge base.
