◆ Wrong image for SNS that parents tend to embrace
One of the mistaken ideas for SNS that children 's parents tend to hold is that they think that they do not want children to use Facebook, but they can not stop it. It is wrong to point out that if you are leaving your PC or smartphone in the reach of children as opposed to using your Facebook or SNS, If you seriously do not want children to use SNS, you need to keep PCs and smartphones in places out of reach of children.

And another misunderstanding is that "I do not teach my children how to use Facebook, and I do not do anything that actually uses it". Children who have not been taught do not have a way of using their parents as they wish.

Parents should protect their children from the evil hands lurking on such a net that they often monitor new friends the kids made online. Especially if the friend is an adult unfamiliar with the parents, or when the child seems to be older than the child, you need to monitor well. It is important to tell yourself whether you are okay to teach yourself the child's personal information even a little,Information on the name and address of the other partyis.

Also,Facebook privacy settingsIt is one good way to set personal information and posts of children so that they can only be seen by friends and friends of friends. And most importantly,You must never see reality with someone you know on-line while you do not know your parents, To teach the child.

This situation suffering from the content that children posted on their own,Grandma's ruleApplication may be an effective measure. This "grandma rule" is something that the children "such things embarrassing to show to Grandma ... You must not put on the SNS" teach.

Also, it is still a useful way to use Facebook's privacy settings as you do not know when your child will post. If you hide embarrassing posts that you posted in the past, you do not have to borrow at the time of emergency.

However, even if you use privacy settings, if you are a child's friend, you can easily download, copy and share the posted photos and texts. Furthermore, if a child is tagged with a name to be guilty and the problem has developed to such a level that it can not be repaired, change the child's Facebook user name, or You also need to delete the account.
