Parent's Guide to Understanding Social Media


This video is 20 minutes of helping parents understand what kids are doing/facing with the issue of Social Media.

  • SnapChat. Kids are on it. Available on every device.
  • Talking to your teen about Internet usage might unveil unhealthy Internet habits YOU have.
  • Everything online is recorded and could come back to haunt you as an adult.
  • Setting boundaries (checking texts, open door policy) -- earned increased privacy
  • Media is always changing, so next year it will be something new. 
  • Be prepared; be educated.
  • A principle you could use is using devices only in public spaces in your house. Protect yourself from the temptation of looking up stuff you shouldn't on the computer/your phone. Porn is going to find them... you don't have to look for it.
