Social Media Awareness with Diane Wasilisian
This program will address security settings, 10 ways to keep your child safe online, 5 things to never post on Facebook, what to be aware of for your high school grad and your college grad who have online profiles. Unfortunately most parents and young people don’t realize the negative impact and how important it is to be more conscientious of the types of postings made, what to know about privacy settings, and importance of what not to post ever on social media sites. We will also address cell phone usage by children and some of the important things that should be considered when allowing a young child or tween to have a cell phone. Included in this discussion will be rules, amount of usage, possible inappropriate use towards others or sexting concerns.
