Responsible and Safe Behavior with Social Media
More than any of us want to believe, middle grade students are increasingly using social media in ways that can be harmful long after they leave middle school. Social media today is far reaching, and teens often simply are not mature enough to refrain from risky behavior.
Parents often think that by reading texts they are adequately monitoring what teens are doing with their phones. That is a great place to start. I would encourage you to learn more about the many apps your children are using, including Snapchat. I have included two links for articles that discuss some of the more popular apps, but remember that every day new apps are popping up and becoming increasingly more popular.
If you haven't talked with your teen recently about responsible use of social media, now is the time. Agree on the apps your child will have access to and have candid talks about your expectations for how those apps are used.
