"When we were kids we’d go home and at least we’d have hours where nobody could get to you and you could just regather your thoughts". "Now it’s just not like that and we’ve seen how serious it gets: children taking their own lives".Although the mother of three shared a rare snap of her and her children recently, you can't see their faces, which makes complete sense given her feelings on the subject.
She also said that keeping the "lines of communication" open with her children is key and that although her children are still too young to know much about social media, she's trying to prepare herself for how things might change a couple of years down the line. Although Holly has her reservations about social media, she also said that banning it isn't ideal either as this automatically means the child is treated differently by their peers.
"If you’re the one who’s not allowed because your mum doesn’t let you, you become that figure of difference and that’s when the problems start. "That’s how they communicate and you have to remember also that those platforms are also used for really good ways of socialising for teenagers or older children so I don’t think you can hold back the tide, I think that would be very naive as a parent".You can see the interview in full here.
