Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   What parents should know about kids and social networks.   It’s a concern facing most parents today…as their children spend time on mobile devices and social networks.  How do you keep them safe?    That’s the focus of a new book co-authored by Scott Steinberg called The Modern Parent’s Guide to Facebook and Social Networks.  Some of the takeaways…

“How to set safe rules for the household and how to teach kids about how to safely use social networks online.  They’ll figure out what questions to ask in terms of making sure that they have prepared kids for the jump to social networks.  And of course, they’ll figure out at what age kids should be going online and what kinds of tools and what kinds of apps they can use to make sure they are keeping up with kids’ activity on social networks.”

Again, it’s The Modern Parent’s Guide to Facebook and Social Networks.  With concerns about bullying, harassment and sexting…it’s a worthwhile read.
