Share Awesome with the National PTA and LifeLock

posted by Stacie on October 15, 2014 // Comments Off

As a digital family, we seem to use digital technology in almost every aspect of our lives. We learn from it with various apps and computer programs. We use it to communicate with each other. We have fun gaming with each other and we even shop online together. We definitely utilize technology to the fullest extent.

We also share a lot of our moments digitally. It is how we stay in touch with family and friends when we aren't able to be with them every day. I love sharing things that my children are doing and even activities that they are participating in.

I try to always make certain that we are all making positive and safe decisions with everything that we put online. Anything that my children put on social media, I check out almost as soon as it happens. I want to make sure that they are making responsible choices when it comes to what they share online. I get that we are living in the age of social media and that everything is public, but I think that a part of living responsibly is making certain that only share what you want to share.

We actively manage everything that my kids share so that one day when they are on their own, they will make good choices.These are teaching moments for my children and for us as parents.
