The Philippine Pediatric Society (PPS) has officially recommended that children 16 years old and younger should not have unsupervised social media access.

The Philippine Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (PSDBP) expresses its full support for the Position Statement on Social Media Use in Children and Adolescents recently issued by the Philippine Pediatric Society (PPS).

As specialists in child neurodevelopment and behavior, PSDBP members are among the clinicians who directly observe and manage the consequences of unregulated social media use in young patients.

Anxiety, emotional dysregulation, sleep disturbance, and worsening behavioral and developmental symptoms are among the presentations we encounter in clinical practice. These are not theoretical risks but clinical realities documented in our consultation rooms daily.

The PPS position — recommending that children 16 years of age and below should not have unsupervised social media access — is consistent with the neurodevelopmental evidence and with what our subspecialty witnesses in practice.

Children and adolescents with existing developmental, behavioral, and mental health needs are among those most vulnerable to the harms of unregulated digital exposure.

PSDBP affirms that the protection of children in digital spaces is a shared responsibility — among families, schools, health professionals, platform developers, and policymakers.

We stand with PPS in calling for stronger, evidence-informed safeguards for Filipino children online.

Happy Father’s Day to our Super Heroes 🦸‍♂️
We love you! 💟
