Paris Hilton recently expressed her hopes that her children will not become as addicted to social media as she is. Speaking at a summit in Los Angeles, Hilton emphasized the importance of her kids experiencing a world beyond social media and being constantly glued to their phones. She highlighted her concerns about the impact of excessive screen time on children, noting that it has led to a decline in outdoor play.
During the panel discussion, Hilton shared her desire for her children to feel loved, seen, and to contribute positively to the world with big hearts. The summit, which featured various Hollywood celebrities and political leaders, provided a platform for Hilton to voice her thoughts on parenting in the digital age.
Hilton, who tied the knot with Carter Reum in 2021, welcomed their son Phoenix in January 2023 and their daughter London less than a year later. This isn't the first time Hilton has expressed her concerns about social media, as she previously mentioned her reservations about her kids becoming influencers.
In her documentary and interviews, Hilton has reflected on her role in popularizing social media and the potential negative impacts it can have on young people. She acknowledged the addictive nature of social media and the pressure to present a perfect image online.
Joining Hilton in her concerns about social media for kids, actress Penélope Cruz also highlighted the risks of children being exposed to manipulation and negative influences online. Cruz emphasized the importance of protecting children from the potential harms of excessive screen time.
Research has shown that prolonged screen time can contribute to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety in young people. Experts recommend limiting children's exposure to screens and prioritizing real-life interactions to foster healthy development.
