To add to that, younger kids are much more “teachable” than teens. Young kids want to be guided and soak up information like a sieve, particularly through imitation. Teens want to strike out on their own and discover things for themselves. They overestimate their ability and underestimate risk.
It’s much more dangerous to be an uneducated “sneaking out” teen on the Internet than an uneducated and monitored younger child.
