Shakira Reveals the Strict Technology Rules She Has for Her Sons<\/p>\n
Shakira is opening up about how she manages technology and social media at home, and her approach is far stricter than many parents might expect.<\/p>\n
During an interview with Henar \u00c1lvarez on RTVE\u2019s Al cielo con ella, the Colombian superstar explained that her sons do not have their own mobile phones and have only very limited access to an iPad. According to Shakira, the device is typically available to them for around one hour on a Saturday morning. <\/p>\n
The singer also revealed that she has banned YouTube for her children.<\/p>\n
Her comments come at a time when parents around the world are debating how much screen time children should have and how early they should be introduced to smartphones and social media.<\/p>\n
For Shakira, limiting technology appears to be part of a broader effort to protect her children from the pressures and misinformation that can come with life online.<\/p>\n
She explained that she tries to teach them that happiness can be found in simple things and that they should not automatically believe everything they see or read on social media. Shakira also said she encourages them not to search for their own names\u2014or the names of their parents\u2014online. <\/p>\n
The singer has previously spoken openly about the challenge of raising children while living such a public life. As one of the most recognizable musicians in the world, Shakira knows firsthand how quickly online attention can become overwhelming.<\/p>\n
Her decision to keep smartphones away from her sons reflects a growing conversation among families about children\u2019s digital habits.<\/p>\n
Many parents worry about excessive screen time, online bullying, inappropriate content and the pressure created by social media. Others believe that technology can be useful when introduced gradually and supervised carefully.<\/p>\n
Shakira appears to have chosen a highly controlled approach.<\/p>\n
Rather than giving her children unrestricted internet access, she keeps their exposure limited and tries to make sure technology does not dominate their everyday lives.<\/p>\n
Her comments have sparked discussion among parents online, with some supporting the strict rules and others arguing that children eventually need to learn how to navigate the digital world responsibly.<\/p>\n
There is no single rule that works for every family, but Shakira\u2019s approach highlights a question that more parents are facing:<\/p>\n
How much technology is too much for children?<\/p>\n
For Shakira, at least for now, the answer is clear\u2014less screen time, no personal phones and stronger limits on what her sons can access online.<\/p>\n
Her message is also about something larger than devices. She wants her children to understand that their self-worth and happiness should not depend on what people say about them on the internet.<\/p>\n
And in an age when children are getting smartphones younger than ever, her parenting choices are likely to keep the conversation going.<\/p>\n
What do you think? Would you give your children the same rules?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
