Having 'The Talk' with your teen

Hey parents. Have you had "The Talk" with your teen yet? No, I don't mean that talk. But there's another one that is almost as important these days.

I'm referring to the talk about staying safe with smartphones and social-media activity. Haven't done that yet? If you've been putting it off because you don't know what to cover, I'm here to help.

A recent report from the Pew Research Center indicates that one in four teens now owns a smartphone. While I use the word teen in this column, my advice also extends to preteens. It's never too early to bring up the subject of online safety. As a parent, you no doubt realize that kids do far more texting than talking.

What you might not know is that kids are also doing a lot more mobile messaging through online social platforms, and this often includes sharing their location with friends.

Read on to find out why this is a problem, what you can do about it and some of the other dangers teens face with smartphones and social media. >>
