I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for BGCA.
I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.
Are You a Cyber Smart Parent?
Parenting teenagers is hard. A lot of the time. And, its different for us than it was for our parents thanks to technology, especially social media. As someone that was an early adopter of most social media networks thanks to my line of work, I have seen firsthand some of the great things these networks offer, and sadly, some of the scarier things that I want to keep my kids safe from.
With more and more kids getting online unmonitored thanks largely to their access to social media through cell phones, iPods and various tablets. These pocket devices make getting online convenient – but also a little too easy for our kids and because they can delete things so easily, it can be tough to monitor those texts, instant messages and even just the number of accounts one child might have.
It’s challenging to say the least – but so important to get a handle on! But, if you aren’t as cyber smart as your tech savvy teen, how do know where to begin?
