Online Tips from GenAustin

6 Tips to Help Your Daughter Have a Positive Social Media Experience
  • Get Online! Friend your daughter on facebook or follow her on twitter.
    • From Mrs. Wessels:  You should also friend your child on Instagram 
  • Stay current. Learn about new social media sites, technology, and privacy settings.
  • Limit her time online, especially if she is having a negative experience. Banning social media forever is NOT the answer. Instead, provide her with tools to work positively within this environment.
  • Have conversations with your daughter about the negative things you are seeing on her social media sites, but choose your battles.
  • Encourage your daughter to use social media positively by introducing her to constructive social media and internet sites.
    •  From Mrs. Wessels:  These tips are great for every child in your family!
