How To Be #SocialMediaParents is a practical guide for parents to better understand social media and how their children are using it. Children as young as 13 are allowed on Facebook, but there are some parents giving access even earlier. Game Center on Apple products allows children to connect with anyone else on Game Center, regardless of age. How does a parent decide what is right for and with their family? How does one implement the family policy without making everyone miserable?
How to Be #SocialMediaParents is a resource to help with those decisions. The focus of this book is two fold. The first is to help parents better understand the technology available to their children. The second is to help parents better understand their teenagers. It would be a mistake however to assume this book is just about technology. Ultimately, it focuses on helping the parent use technology to enhance their offline relationships. This is critical for parent-teen relationship, for keeping children safe and for teaching teenagers about acceptable behavior online in public spaces.
Readers of this book can expect to have the following questions answered as they read:
Teenagers need healthy relationships with their parents. Communication is the key to a strong relationship. As they express themselves online, you need to be there with them. Chances are your teenager is active on social media. Are you there with them? Even if you are not interacting with them regularly through social media, you should be aware online, so that you be present offline.
