    Serena Williams doesn't allow her young daughter on "certain" social media platforms

    The 42-year-old retired tennis ace has 12-month-old Adira River and seven-year-old Olympia with Reddit founder husband Alexis Ohanian, 41, and she wants to ensure her little girl is protected from the "scary" online world and is planning to take things "slow" when it comes to her access to electronics


    Speaking to journalist Kara Swisher at the INBOUND conference this week, Serena said: "It's a digital world for kids right now. I'm always on with my daughter, but we don't allow her on certain platforms.

    It's so interesting that with everything available online and the access that kids have - in a second, you never know what can come to them.

    "I'm trying to think positively. I feel like we might try to take it slow with her and go a little bit slower with electronics, and just let her be a kid for as long as you can."

    When asked by the interviewer if she had any parenting tips, Serena quipped: "Parenting advice? Please give it to me, thank you very much."

    The Olympian added: "Just show up. Wake up. That's all I do. And I could barely wake up today!"

    Serena discussing safeguarding young people online comes after her pal Kim Kardashian revealed she got her young son to sign a strict contract before agreeing to let him have his own YouTube channel.

    The 43-year-old reality superstar - who has North, 11, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and five-year-old Psalm with ex-husband Kanye West - recently saw her second child launch a social media presence.

    The Skims founder shared the handwritten contract on her Instagram Story and wrote: "Saint signed a solid contract for his YouTube Channel. He better not breach."

    The document - which was signed by Saint - acknowledged the youngster "agreed to follow mom's rules."

    It stated: "I am not allowed to comment any personal family information. I am not allowed to film any personal information. I am not allowed to film while North is recording music."

    Kim's caption then obscured the next few sentences, but it then continued: "I must show my mom or guardian all videos before I post them. I give permission to any grown up if mom says to delete my video for any reason."

    And if Saint breaches the terms, the youngster's stint on the video platform could be up.

    The contract concluded: "If I don't listen to all of the rules, mom could make my page private or delete my account."
