Parenting in the 21st Century Requires Technology
Children are feeling pressured to post provocative pictures, videos, and blogs about their deepest personal experiences in a very public forum. They need parental guidance to fully understand and think through the implications of their on-line actions.
They are also using Apps that allow them to hide other Apps on their mobile device so that parents do not know what they are doing. Don't be the parent who finds out too late and says "I never thought my child would ever do, or fall victim to, this type of behavior".
As parents, we often struggle because we do not have the computer skills of our children, or we don't really have a good in-sight on how they use the internet and electronic devices.
The good news is that you do not need a PhD in Internet Technology to be a great cyber-parent. However, you do need to make a commitment to become familiar with the technology your children use and to stay current with Internet safety issues.
Monitoring products can help level the playing field and protect your children from the dangers of the internet.
