Big thanks to Alison McClintock and Sunday Publishing for asking me to write a piece on kids using social media for Vodafone Digital Parenting. My article, “Spying on your kids online is not the answer” is on page 9 of the latest edition (download full PDF).
The magazine features loads of other useful stuff, covering everything from online bullying to interviews with Jamal Edwards and other digital media moguls under the age of 21. So, this guide is inspirational and practical at the same time.
If you’ve any friends worried about the effects of digital media on their kids (and mainstream media does its best to hype up the issue), please help spread the word and pass this link on.
