Kate Winslet has definite opinions on how much her children should be connected to social media. And it basically boils down to ... not at all, at least not in her house.
"It has a huge impact on young women's self-esteem, because all they ever do is design themselves for people to like them," the 40-year-old mom of Mia (15), Joe (11) and Bear (22 months) told the Sunday Times.

Winslet also said she and her husband Ned Rocknroll try to limit their time on phones and tablets, and get outdoors more.
