Just like you wouldn't leave your kids alone - can't let them surf the net and join social media without supervision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744252801237077749.post-2179437649927871922011-10-27T09:25:39.455-04:002011-10-27T09:25:39.455-04:00My kids have been on FB for nearly two years now. ...My kids have been on FB for nearly two years now. The day I learned about my son, he said: "Mom, I accidentally got on FB". I laughed but then I figured, ok, he's young enough that I can require access to his account at all times. I can mon...itor what's going on. In the time he's been on FB, there have been plenty of times that I needed to sit down and discuss whether or not the dialogue/posts/friends were appropriate. I've told many parents that I believe that NOW is the time to teach my kids about how to behave in a social media setting.

Some kids can't handle the power and cause a lot more heartache online than they would spreading social misery the old-fashioned way. Also, the newbies need supervision from parents to make sure they aren't getting into trouble themselves (privacy controls, netiquette) or causing trouble for others. Once they demonstrate responsibility in some kind of consistent way, you can back off a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
