Our little geeksSocial Media is everywhere these days and your kids are on it. Whether they’re on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare or any other social media utility, chances are your kids are interacting with all kinds of people on the web. And the truth of the matter is your kids know more about social networking and social media than you do. To top it off you feel pretty powerless when it comes to helping them be safe. Like anything online and in life there is the good, the bad and the ugly.

    Thank you so much Shailesh for helping us spread the word for Thursday night's forum. What a great opportunity for parents to ask specific questions and hear real life experiences from other parents.

    As a parent myself, I am constantly monitoring my kids actions and interactions on the Internet. They think they're just having fun, but I think they're making lifelong choices.

    Hope to see you Thursday 🙂

    The safety and security issue in these social media sites vis-a-vis children cannot be overemphasized.
