Social Media for Parents
Our children are growing up in a digital world of phones, tablets, apps, etc and it can be very hard for parents to keep track of what they are doing online and with whom they are interacting. As parents we sometimes feel 'out of the loop' or 'uneducated' when it comes to using social media - and our sons can use this as an excuse for not sharing their online behaviours with us.
