Mom: “You can go play with your friends, but be home in an hour.”
which is what my mom use to say….today:
Mom: “You can go on Facebook, but you need to be back here in an hour.”
It’s the same message.
Dad: “Yes, you can go to the store with your friends, just know that dinner will be served at 7 and you are expected to be here.”

The best advice I ever give to parents is one of conversation. On more than one occasion parents have asked me where should they start. My answer is always the same. Start with your own children. Grab a pen and piece of paper and really care about these spaces. Have them walk you through their Facebook account. Try and learn and understand what they do there. If they won’t let you see their account, then you have an issue. Facebook is not a private space. If they are willing to share that information with their friends, they should be willing to share it with you. Have a conversation about what you see. See a picture that upsets you? Talk about it in an adult fashion. Ask the questions:
