Wait until your kids are 12+. Talk to them about the things they like, watch, and see without being judgmental. Set up content firewalls.

MODERATORS
Around 13+ should be good for them, to get their own devices... and have the talk
(if they're going to watch anything weird, just tell them to keep it to themselves, unless OPSEC or mental health is involved, and that social media is not real life; a small warning should suffice, since they'll prbly experience sooner than you think)
Until then, all devices for them should be considered collective family personal property....
As much as possible, get them socializing or smthn', anythin' to not lead to them to their phones, in recourse....
