Penélope Cruz opened up about why she’s shielding her children from social media until they’re at least 16.
of kids, teens, and young adults alike, it’s understandable why some parents choose to prevent their kids from using it altogether. Penélope Cruz explained why she and her husband and Javier Bardem don’t let their kids, 10-year-old son Leo and 8-year-old daughter Lena, use smartphones or use popular social media apps, and why she feels the lack of protection for kids online feels like an “experiment” on developing brains.
“It’s almost like if the world was doing some kind of experiment on them,” she continued. “‘Oh, let’s see what happens if you expose a 12-year-old to that much technology.’ The lack of protection that it is for a 12-year-old to be involved in social media, any form of social media, there’s no protection for them, for their brains that are still developing, and how that affects the way they see themselves, everything, like, related to bullying.
The actress is also very strict with the media her kids consume in general. “I’m very tough with technology, for example, with my kids,” she said. “It’s like, yeah, we’re going to watch movies sometimes or some cartoons. How can I not let them watch movies? That has been, like, some incredible moments of happiness since I was a little girl. But not phones until they are much older and no social media until at least 16.
