whether it's the advent of the novel, the introduction of rock n roll television or now social media, one constant remains. Every up and coming generation embraces newfangled inventions while their parents struggle to accept and understand these modern changes. In fact, many parents avoid the tech talk because they don't feel confident in their knowledge of this new social media world. However, ignoring this new frontier won't make it disappear. Rather, it can expose your kids to problems, predators and privacy breaches. Get a handle on your child's online activities. Here's how know the rules. Facebook restricts accounts to those 13 and older. So if your Tween is bugging you about signing up, you may be able to hold them off for a year or two with this information. Twitter, however, does not have the same restrictions. If your child insists on getting social online sooner rather than later, consider more secure in age. Appropriate sites designed for younger kids spell out the risks. Kids learn to be wary of strangers in person, but they also need to know how to avoid befriending strangers online, explain the dangers of online predators and restrict kids to Onley. Connecting online with the people they know in real life also check that they aren't giving away too much information on their public profile, such as their school name, birthday or phone number, which could open the door to predators.
