When your kids begin socializing online, you may want to talk to them about certain risks:
Social networking sites, chat rooms, virtual worlds, and blogs are how teens and tweens socialize online; it's important to help your child learn how to navigate these spaces safely.
Cyberbullying is bullying or harassment that happens online. It can happen in an email, a text message, a game, or on a social networking site.
What age is appropriate for a kid to have a mobile phone? That's something for you and your family to decide.
