Our kids know something we don’t…
It’s been part of their world for as long as they can remember…
It powers their communication, their school work, their friendships, their love life…
Sometimes it TURNS on them with global force. Sometimes they unleash it on themselves…
Because there are NO RULES…
Our kids know they live in a SOCIAL MEDIA CULTURE (there is no ‘opt out’), where a single MISSTEP looks like this…
And our parental online-tsunami PROTECTION looks like this…
They’ve been traversing the social media ‘scape ALONE…
But now they’ve got US: Moms, Dads, Guardians, Teachers, Principals…
WE can help them figure out the no-rule RULES, the culture they live in, the power of the internet, the alluring ‘connect’ of social media and the incredible reach of their future…
WE, parents and educators, can TEACH our children how to harness that online tsunami, once we understand what we’re up against.
HERE’S HOW…
