This train has left the station, and you <em>must</em> be on board.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> Changing social habits is not often easy, and many in our generation of “digital immigrants” find it challenging to embrace this new wave of social networking and internet-based communication. Your children are “digital natives,” seemingly born understanding this digital world. If they are so natural at it you may wonder why you need to be involved. The answer is simple: <em>your children need your guidance. </em></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Just as you taught your child about manners, friendship, and values, you need to guide your teen about how to behave in the digital world. Your teen has a “digital footprint,” as do you. This is something you’ll want to manage and not leave to chance. If you don’t, they may be learning the rules of the road from the road warriors themselves.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Some parents are intimidated and feel the learning curve is too high.

Create your own profile, experiment with changing your status update, find your friends and relatives, and share photos within your network of friends. You are guaranteed to find some surprise connections and you’ll begin to see the value of social networking and why it is important to your teenager. For me, it was when I saw photos of my niece’s newborn son within hours of his birth that I truly appreciated power of this platform. The more you understand this tool the better guidance and support you are able to offer your teen. </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Facebook is here to stay, and with <em>The</em> <em>Parent’s Guide to Facebook</em> you’ll find it easy to understand and embrace.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Enjoy!</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Sue Blaney</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Sue Blaney is the author of </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><em><span style="font-size:14pt;">Please Stop the Rollercoaster!
