Designed for community leaders, Parenting the Net Generation addresses family interests and concerns on issues that arise when young people go online. The workshop touches briefly on many key Internet issues including safety, privacy, marketing, ethics and cyberbullying, and evaluation of online information.
This presentation was prepared for a high school Parent Teacher Organization to inform parents of the social media apps and sites local teens are using in spring 2014. The presentation includes an overview of particular apps and sites, as well as their terms of service and appropriateness for teen users. Parents are also given tips about helping teens develop a good digital footprint and referred to resources that will help them make social media decisions for their own teens.
One in three internet users globally is a child. This proportion is likely to be even higher in the global South.
Organizations working to advance children’s rights and promote well-being need to understand how to reduce the risk of harm children face online while maximizing their opportunities for learning, participation and creativity.

Editor's Notes
[Introduction: who you are, where you’re from.]
Today I’d like to talk about some things we can do to help keep kids safer online. I’m highlighting suggestions from this publication, Net Cetera, which we have available for you today.
Let’s start with a few questions: How many of you have school-aged kids? Or know a kid? What ages? Do they spend time online or on a cell phone?
[NOTE TO PRESENTER: This is intended to be a 10-minute presentation if you use just the basic slides. You can lengthen it by adding discussion of any of the specific topics included under ADDITIONAL SLIDES.]
Most of us – and probably most kids – do all kinds of things online.
We may socialize via email, IM, phone over web, or social networks
Many of us post and share pictures and videos
We may have profiles on social networks, sharing information with friends
and
Sometimes we create avatars to represent us in online spaces.
These activities come with some risks:
Inappropriate Conduct: it’s anonymous online, and people – especially kids – can forget that their online actions can have real-world consequences.
Inappropriate Contact: there are people online who have bad intentions – including bullies, predators, hackers, and scammers.
Inappropriate Content: you may worry about what younger kids may run across – or what older kids might seek out.
So keeping in mind these risks, the Federal Trade Commission wrote a guide for parents called Net Cetera.
It’s based on the idea that the first step to protecting kids online is more about talking than technology. When kids want important information, they turn to their parents. This guide can help parents talk with their kids about being safe online.
We often heard from parents – especially those with tech-savvy kids – that they didn’t know where to start. So, for parents who wonder where to begin, here are some tips:
Start early: Even toddlers see their parents using communications tools. What toddler doesn’t want to get little hands on a cell phone? As soon as these kids use a computer or phone themselves, it’s time to talk with them about safety.
If your kids are already going online:
Create an honest, open environment: Listen to what kids have to say, and be supportive.
Initiate conversations: Don’t wait for kids to come to you. Use everyday chances to talk with kids: news stories about cyberbullying, a storyline on TV – both can be the start of a worthwhile conversation.
Communicate your values – and how they apply online: You’re the only one in a position to guide your kids this way. Be very clear with kids about this. It’ll help them make smarter decisions when they’re faced with tricky situations.
Be patient: Most kids need small bits of information repeated – and often – for it to really sink in. Keep talking; chances are it’ll pay off.
Kids need different levels of attention and guidance at different ages – and it’s really up to you to decide where your own kids fit.
Starting with very young kids, it’s a good idea to supervise them while they’re online – maybe even choosing the sites they can visit. As they’re ready to explore a little more, consider limiting their exploration to sites you’ve already checked out and that you think are OK for their educational and entertainment value.
Moving on to tweens, aged 8-12, who usually are ready to explore a bit more on their own – it’s still a good idea to be close by. Having the computer in a family area is a good idea. Parents also may want to talk about how much time their tween can spend online.
By the time kids are teenagers, many are ready for more independence from their parents. They’re starting to form their own values and reflecting those of their friends. But that doesn’t mean there’s no point in talking with them.
Teens have access to the internet through their mobile devices, phones, their computers and their friends computers, so it’s really hard to watch what they do. It doesn’t hurt to reinforce ‘good citizenship’ messages with teens, along with three important messages that many need to hear:
Not all information is credible: just because it’s posted, doesn’t mean it’s so.
Once they post something, there’s no taking it back. It’s out there in the world.
No matter how impersonal it seems, screen names, profiles and avatars belong to people with real feelings. Treat them the way you’d like to be treated.
The booklet is called Net Cetera for a reason: it covers other subjects you might want to talk about with kids:
safe social networking
how to handle cyberbullying
what to do about sexting (which boils down to “don’t do it”)
managing mobile applications
understanding social mapping (a kind of GPS in mobile phones that lets people know where you are), and
protecting your computer.
Net Cetera also talks about phishing, parental controls, file sharing, cell phone etiquette – those subjects parents need to know to talk with their kids about being safe online.
In case you’d like more copies, or if you belong to any groups that might be able to use copies, please feel free to pass it on! There are a few ways you can do that:
Net Cetera is posted at OnGuardOnline.gov, the federal government’s online safety website. You’ll find the full document there, as well as a button you can grab and post on your own website. [eventually…] You can also copy sections of the guide to use in newsletters, blogs – however you can use it. The booklet is in the public domain.
You also may want to order free copies at the FTC’s bulk order site: bulkorder.ftc.gov. They’re free, and they’re available in both English and Spanish.
[NOTE TO PRESENTER: The first section is a basic presentation lasting about 10-15 minutes. If you’d like to add any of these topics, simply copy these slides before Slide #9. We suggest you still finish with Slides # 10-11.]
Adults often see socializing online and offline as separate activities, each with its own rules. Kids see it all as socializing, whether it’s online or off – and it’s good to talk with them about how they act online. Even the most tech-savvy kids can use some reminders about their online behavior:
What they do online can have real-world consequences – the words they use and what they post can have a big impact on others, and on themselves.
Remind kids that, once they post something, they can’t take it back. It’s a message that’s worth repeating, especially since the colleges and jobs kids may eventually want to get into will be checking their social networking profiles.
While most kids are good at just deleting things they think are annoying or creepy, tell kids to trust their gut if they’re suspicious about anything – and to tell you about it. You can help them report it to the police and the social networking site.
It’s a good idea to remind kids to keep personal information private. Kids should avoid posting things like where they go to school, their address or phone number.
Cyberbullying is harassment or bullying that happens online, and it can happen on social networking sites, in IMs, emails, text messages, and in games. Recent research shows that this is the online safety issue that kids are most worried about.
Again, the advice is to talk to your kids.
Ask them to tell you if an online message makes them feel threatened or hurt. The same goes for images. Keep an open channel of communication with your child and hopefully he or she will come to you.
Tell your kids that they can’t hide behind the worlds they type or the images they post. None of us want to think that our kid might be bullying other kids. Still, remind your child that hurtful messages can make the sender look bad, and sometimes even bring punishment from the authorities.
If your child has a problem with a bully, tell him or her not to react. Bullies are looking for a response, so don’t give them one.
Encourage your kid to talk with you about what’s going on, and to help you save the evidence. If the bullying keeps up, share the record with the school or the police. If you ever fear for your child’s safety, immediately contact the police.
Block the bully online: remove him or her from “friend” or “buddy” lists, and block the email address.
If your child’s social networking profile has been changed or created without his permission, get in touch with the company that runs the site to have it taken down.
Tell your kid that she can help stop cyberbullying by telling the bully to stop, and by not passing on mean messages.
As communications have gone mobile, so has kids’ ability to constantly stay in touch. The fundamentals of common sense and common courtesy apply, regardless of where communications take place.
Establish rules about when and where it’s appropriate to use their cell phones. Can they text at the dinner table? Do they have to give you their phone when they’re supposed to be doing homework or sleeping?
Consider the example you’re setting: do you do the things you forbid your kids to do? Remember that it’s illegal to text, surf, or talk on the phone while driving in many states – and it’s dangerous in all of them. And your kids are watching.
Talk to your kids about using their manners on cell phones and online (since many of them get online through their phones). Remind them to treat people the way they’d like to be treated.
Talk with your kids about privacy and safety. Most mobile phones allow photo- and video-sharing, which can be fun and creative – but can also cause issues about personal privacy and reputation.
Encourage kids to think about their privacy – and that of others – before posting a picture or video. With mobile phones, it’s easy to post a picture without the OK of the person in the picture, but that can be embarrassing and even unsafe. Better to think first than do damage control later.
Smart phones let kids check and update their social networking pages on the go. Remember that any filters you’ve set up on the home computer don’t apply on the phone. Encourage your child to use good sense when social networking from their phone.
The phone itself, as well as the mobile carrier, should give you some options about privacy settings and child safety controls. You often can turn off things like web access, downloading, or texting. Other phones let you set the number of minutes used, limit internet access, and provide number privacy. Ask your carrier what tools are available on your plan and your phone, and find out what they cost. (There may be extra charges for these features.)
Do you know about social mapping? It’s GPS technology that’s in many cell phones now, and kids can use it to pinpoint where their friends are – or be pinpointed by their friends. Tell your kids to use this feature only with friends they know in person and trust – and not to broadcast their location to the world.
You might want to check: some carriers have GPS services that let parents map their kid’s location.
