Even though there are millions of kids who use platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, Sophie Wessex says that her children, Lady Louise, 16, and James, Viscount Severn, 12, are yet to join in on any trends. According to Royal Central, Sophie Wessex spoke about her children and their internet habits during a meeting with the children’s charity NSPCC this week.

“At the moment, my children aren’t into social media, however, it is here to stay, so it’s important for them to understand it and for us to equip them with the tools to navigate it successfully,” Sophie said. “Again, I think openness is one-way families can support their teenagers.”

British Royal News – Sophie Wants Her Kids To Talk Rather Than Text

Of course, that doesn’t mean Sophie’s children won’t be on social media in the future, but for now, she would rather have them talk to her about any issues they might have rather than spend all of their free time online – like most kids do, and especially during the quarantine lockdown. In other words, the royal mother would rather have her kids talk than text.

She continued, “If children feel they can discuss issues and worries with their parents, without fear of them, or their friends, being judged, this may give the opportunity to help them with what can be a complex and very pressured area.

“It’s so important that young people have adults in their lives who support and affirm them. Particularly when the virtual world can be, at times, unkind. Young people need to know they can trust someone with a problem, be that a person directly involved in their life or, of course, Childline is always there for them.”
