Electronic Devices and Social Media

Teach your children how to manage digital usage and social media.Today’s children are immersed in digital media. It can be a double-edged sword.

Remember that technology is a tool. Children need parameters to help manage online interactions. As a parent, you need to guide them. Monitor what they’re doing.

Warn your child about the perils of online communication. They may think that all people are as honest as they are, which means they may provide too much personal information in earnest. 

Listen as Dr. Corinn Cross joins Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss what you should know about your child’s use of digital devices.
