PARENTING IN THE AGE OF FACEBOOK

Parenting in the Age of Facebook acknowledges the all-pervasive influence of the World Wide Web on the lives of children, and the quandaries parents find themselves in as a result. How much ''net-time'' is enough? Are children safe on social media pages? What are the online dangers kids could encounter and how do parents counter these threats? By encouraging practical, proactive strategies-those that model the mindful use of technology, help nurture connections, and support children through healthy Internet-browsing techniques-this book encourages positive parenting in the age of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
