You and Your Teen in Cyberspace!
Parents, you’ve made dozens of rules that put your kids’ safety
first: “Look both ways before crossing the street.” “Buckle up!”
“Wear a helmet when you ride your bike.” “Don’t talk to
strangers.”
But how do you set the rules when you don’t even understand the
game?
In a CNN/Time Magazine poll of teens across the United States:
62% of teens said their parents knew “little or nothing” about what
websites they visit
70% of teens said their parents have no internet use rules for them
to follow
Please join us at an upcoming workshop, “You and Your Teen in
Cyberspace”. The workshop will be held on Tuesday May 13 from 7:00
to 8:30 pm at the Southern High School 1st floor computer lab. The
workshop is FREE, but space is limited so everyone attending must
call or e-mail their registration to Tara Kuipers, Gage County MAPS
Coalition, at tkuipers@bpsne.org or 223-1500 x 1059.
Join us for a first-hand look at some of the blogs and social
networking sites your kids may be using, learn some of the “lingo”
they use on text or on-line messaging, and find out practical
guidelines for keeping your kids safe online.
