A Parent's Guide to Navigating Social Networking
Overview
"Do you know where your kids are?" Many of us heard this growing up, but today it comes with a digital twist: "Do you know who your kids are talking to online?"
Understanding Social Networking
Social networking platforms are incredibly popular, especially among tweens, teens, and young adults. These sites encourage users to share information through profiles, journals, message boards, chat rooms, emails, and instant messaging. While these platforms can help expand a person’s social circle, they also introduce risks from individuals with harmful intentions. To help your kids enjoy these sites safely, the Federal Trade Commission offers some essential tips:
Safety Tips
- Keep the Computer Accessible: Position the computer in a shared area like the kitchen or family room. This allows you to monitor your child’s online activities more easily.
- Engage with Technology: Spend time online with your kids. Familiarize yourself with their favorite sites and set reasonable guidelines together.
- Discuss Online Habits: Talk openly about the importance of keeping personal information private, such as their name, Social Security number, address, phone number, age, and family financial details.
- Be Mindful of Shared Content: Remind your children to share only what they’re comfortable with the world seeing. The internet is like a gigantic billboard; anything posted can potentially be viewed by teachers, police, college admissions officers, or future employers. Remember, once it's online, it's permanent.
- Warn About Online Dangers: Caution your kids about interacting with strangers. People can misrepresent themselves online, making it hard to know their true identity. Encourage your children to trust their instincts and report any threatening or uncomfortable interactions to you, the police, and your internet service provider.
- Monitor Online Behavior: If you're worried about risky behavior, look into the blog sites they visit. You can search for information they might be sharing by using their name, nickname, school, hobbies, or location.
By staying involved and informed, you can help your children navigate social networking sites safely and responsibly.
