Beyond Facebook - Specially For Parents

Tweet

I think this article could bring about more awareness for parents here. It is not my hope to discourage parents to discourage or ban your children from having a Facebook or any other social networking site accounts but to every remind every one here, the importance of establishing an open two way communication channel. I can see that it can be quite daunting handling our children when they do not see things at our adult levels. But, we must never give up or give in to failures as they (children) can really be harmed in a way which we can never imagined possible. Be understanding and not dogmatic with our knowledge. Be helpful but not too meddlesome or intrusive into the privacy. They may not be ready for what is to come but we must try to let them see that our love for them have a point and that is their well being is first on every parent's list. Let them see your love and concern for they are our future and I just do not see anyone doing a better job than us parents. Parents - You may want to share with other parents here on how you had gone about coping and convincing your child that he/she needs you with these decisions on Facebook or other social networking sites. Children - You may want to share just how you would your parents help or react when you join these social networking sites. What do you see that your parents do not and share it here. I feel that there's much to learn from these exchanges, so do feel free to contribute all you want.
