Determine their degree of involvement- If there isnone, and they say there is none, dont assume that. If its nothappening in your house, dont assume that it is not occurringnext door, or in the school library or on the playground.

Create ground rules for participation1) Start listening and monitoring to what is being said aboutyour child online.2) Set up and create policies, rules and guidelines forparticipation in social media. Children will take advantage ofthe zero social media policy.

The more you know, the more you will be able tounderstand-What do you know and how much do you knowwill be critical; but more importantly, how much of what youthink you know and is it accurate, might be crucial.

The Rules of Engagement


10/19

Do you really know everybody on your friends list?

Do you ever get messages from strangers? How do you

handle them?Do you know anyone whos gone to meet someone offline

theyd been talking to online?

Are people in your group of friends ever mean to each

other online or on the phone? What do they say? Have they

ever been mean to you? Would you tell me if theywere?

Sometimes kids take nude or sexy photos and send them

to others. Has that ever happened at your school?

Find Your Teen's ProfileThe first thing parents should do is find their child's profile. Kids have more than one onlineprofile, so you have to find out how many your child has and where they are. You are entitled toknow and the best way to find out is by asking your kids.

Tailor the Profile to Fit NeedsYou need to understand why your child has a profile. Once you know why your child is on the

site, you can make sure they're only giving the information they need to.

Follow the Four PsDon't let your child post anything publicly that parents, principals, predators or the policeshouldn't see. Everyone is looking. And what you post on the Internet stays there forever.

Use Privacy Settings

Make sure your children use the most restrictive privacy settings available on the socialnetworking site where they have a personal profile. Do only let your kids have their real-lifefriends as Internet buddies the people you know about.

Do Online SnoopingSnoop on your children. You're allowed to do that. Follow the trail of cyber breadcrumbs. Lookat their profiles regularly, and click on their friends' profiles.
