Make an effort to put children first

Whether we have kids of our own or not, every one of us has a role to play in making sure that Kiwi kids feel safe, loved and able to reach their potential. Children's Day, which is held on the first Sunday of March, is a time to pause, reflect and honour our children, and an opportunity for all New Zealanders to think about the collective responsibility we all have to put our tamariki first.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
