For the first-account conversation, whatever you decide.

Parents allowing a child's first social-media account.

A useful time to begin: the child is asking to join a specific platform.

A teen and a parent or caregiver decide together, starting with what the account would make possible and whether it is permitted. Waiting or choosing no account is a complete outcome. Spoken answers and blank fields count.

A planning aid, not a guarantee against harm. Verify current local contacts and escalation procedures separately.

One decision, made together.

The Notion companion brings the same plan into a workspace you can make your own.

Start at the home page: decide together and keep help close for every family, and plan the account and practise everyday choices only if you decide to start.

Our starting decision in the actual Notion companion. The open 'See an example' toggles show a fictional teen and her father in their own words.

Decide before setup

Our starting decision and What help feels like come before any account. An unclear rule pauses setup.

Record what you saw

Settings we actually checked keeps the settings someone actually looked at apart from the ones you planned. The Instagram Companion is dated 10 October 2026.

Help stays close

Help and reporting and Help comes first are there before you need them. Repair or pause and First-month review cover what happens next.

Included with the complete kit, not a separate purchase. Requires your own Notion account; PDF and Word work without it. Your duplicate is your own copy. It does not connect to Instagram, check settings for you, monitor the account or send reminders.

Four steps. Two are for every family.

  1. 01. Decide togetherBefore any account: purpose, eligibility and a shared decision
  2. 02. Plan and check the accountOptional, only if you decide to start: which account, and which settings someone actually saw
  3. 03. Practise everyday choicesOptional, before posting or unfamiliar contact: contacts, posting, feed and time
  4. 04. Keep help closeBefore you need it: who to go to and which reporting route fits

No step has a set time. The day 7, day 14 and day 30 review is a suggested starting rhythm, not a monitoring requirement. Urgent help never waits for a review.

Before you begin.
