Do you have thoughts on this topic?
I do. I wrote about it here not long ago, and today my video piece is live at iVillage! [Click here or on image below to view]
If you have a few minutes, please check it out. I was privileged to have several willing victims friends share their thoughts on kids and teens and parents and…. social networks. The concensus undoubtedly circled around the need for intentional and strong parental involvement.
Since I am never one of few words… here are a few resources to add to your back pocket as you think about this topic:
- Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
- SAFE social networks for kids!
- Your Sphere – a GREAT parent resource. Don’t know how to set privacy settings across networks? This site walks you through!
- And an interesting article that speaks to online addiction in kids. Would you pay your teen to stay off Facebook? Story here.
- Are you a blogger who writes about your family? I just found this post today, and found it to be very helpful and thought-provoking.
So. Folks… What are your thoughts? What has been YOUR experience?
