Electronic communication has merged into every aspect of our lives today. Social networking for your teenagers and tweens is now taking place on the MySpace web site. It has become the main hub for people to meet each other. The MySpace can be used for many positive things such as connecting with peers to discuss homework and projects. It can help introverted individuals be more interactive and creative with their communication. Also your teen can find support for their interests and strengths.
The negative side is that your child's personal information is out there for the world to see. MySpace does not protect your child from internet predators. One way to intercede is to create your own MySpace site and spend a few hours browsing to learn what the excitement is all about.
If your child is under 14 years of age you might want to explore Facebook, Xanga and Imbee as an alternative. The more you understand and know what your child is involved in, the safer your child will be.
Have fun learning with your child.
