When studying kids on Facebook we find that many parents become concerned with what their child is doing online. I discovered that there are a variety of books, online articles, websites, TV interviews, and the like that are all focused on parents, kids, and social networking. Below I have a few videos that will give a taste of this.
A young girl comments on why she uses Facebook and what other kids can do to convince their parents to let them get a Facebook too. She gives tips on how to be safe with Facebook as well.
President Obama comments on Facebook and how kids need to be safe when using it.
Therapist and Life Coach, Didi Zahariades, MA, gives a talk on Parenting Today about kids and teens using Facebook and how parents need to step in to make sure kids are being safe online and not posting anything risky (such as pictures, messages, etc.) as well as not hiding anything from the adult.
Authors of the book The Smart Parents Guide to Facebook talk about how Facebook is safe for kids and how the main danger of Facebook is cyber bullying. They also talk about how kids should only have a Facebook if they are mature enough to understand how to stay safe on the site.
This video introduces a version of Facebook for kids called Face Chips.
