One way to keep up-to-date on what your children are doing online is to actively follow their accounts on social media. Consider including a “friend” policy in your family’s social media rules, where your child has to accept your friend request and give you open access to what they are viewing and posting. Make sure you have your children turn off any settings that allow them to limit how much information friends can view on their pages. You might also consider sharing a password so you can access their direct messages.
