Instagram has claimed it is safer for children to be connected to the social media application than not in a desperate ploy to win over uneasy parents.
The popular photo-sharing application has provided localised 'tips for parents' packages that are partnered with safety organisations.
In collaboration with Headspace, the Australian package says: 'Wise use is better than no use.'

Instagram claims young people who are banned from social media are likely to experience bullying.
'There's a risk of social marginalisation for kids who are not allowed to socialise in this way that's now so embedded in their social lives,' the tips reads.
The package identifies the risks children can face on Instagram including bullying or the sharing of inappropriate photos or videos that could hurt a child's reputation.
The application claims kids 'can learn to manage these risks' and calls on parents to ensure young people are well-equipped.
'While most kids are smart about this, it doesn't hurt for parents to be sure kids aren't posting provocative images or having inappropriate interactions with people they don't know,' Instagram said.
The minimum age for Instagram is 13 but the application doesn't ask children to specify their age, suggesting that kids younger than 13 are on the application.

Instagram said it would delete accounts of children who are younger than 13 if notified but claims age doesn't necessarily affect the safety of the application.
'Whether Instagram is 'safe' depends more on how it's used than on the age of the user,' the package said.
'How positive or negative a young person's experience is on Instagram or anywhere online depends as much on the person and his or her friends as on the app.'
The package discusses whether the privacy settings of Instagram and acknowledges that many parents make sure a child's account is switched to private.
Instagram, however, recognises that young people are increasingly excited by Instagram fame and a lot of followers.

'This guide is an ideal way for parents to better understand how Instagram works so they can have constructive and meaningful conversations with their young person about privacy and appropriate behaviours'
'For many kids, part of the fun of Instagram is developing a big following.'
Parents are urged to remember that children can still appear on the application even if they're on a social media ban as they can appear in photos posted by friends.
Instagram argues the service is an extension of young people's 'real world' social lives but hasn't overtaken the real deal.
'As socialising gets more mobile, no single service, app or tool covers all digital social activities or even a single category, but research shows that socialising face-to-face is still the main event to teens,' the package said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
