Parenting

If you have teens they’ve probably got a Facebook page. Is that good? Well, yes, they can socialise, share photos and play games. But, are they safe and is their privacy protected!

How can we help them be safe on Facebook? First you’ll need to find out if they have a Facebook page. Best thing to do is ask them!

Now, most teens I know are pretty trusting and probably think that they are posting only to their friends, but “friends” can share thier information so easily with others that it’s important to let them know how thay can keep themselves safe.

I’ve found a great website to help you explain this to your teen. It’s called Facebook Guide for Parents

Facebook Guide for Parents is run by Facebook experts and offers step-by-step tutorials on Facebook written specifically for parents. You can use the guidebook or follow the short and easy videos.

• Learn the how tos of setting up your Facebook profile
• Securing it with Facebook privacy settings
• Tops on how to handle cyber-bullies

I just love it when I find a clear, concise guide that caters to different learning styles. Facebook Guide for Parents presents a written guide as well as instructional videos, that seem to go just at the right pace for me to take in this vital information, to help me protect my child online.
