Get them through the privacy options as soon as they sign up for facebook or any other social networking space. It\u2019s best if she uses a profile picture of something else other than herself \u2013 it could be a landscape picture or any other thing. This way, every person who visits her profile won\u2019t be able to see her \u2013 it ensures privacy. Adults can filter out friend requests with good discretion and children may lack that.<\/li>\n<li style=\"color: #656565\"><strong>Choose a false name.\u00a0<\/strong>She does not have to use her real name. Having a fancy false name will protect her identity. However, the downside of this is that children think they can become less accountable to you when they begin to interact online anonymously. So, tell her that she is equally responsible for what she writes online, whether it is under her real name or under a fancy false name. She has to own up her posts.<\/li>\n<li style=\"color: #656565\"><strong>You can write only those things online you can say in person.<\/strong> Social media site users tend to think that they can get away with saying those things online that they can\u2019t say to someone\u2019s face. Discourage this attitude in your child right at the beginning. Nip it in the bud.<\/li>\n<li style=\"color: #656565\"><strong>Don\u2019t get into virtual war of words.<\/strong>\u00a0A healthy debate is alright. But things can often turn nasty online, with people writing angry and offensive comments. Your child should understand when to excuse herself from a heated conversation.<\/li>\n<li style=\"color: #656565\"><strong>Finally, don\u2019t overdo facebook or any other social media site.<\/strong>\u00a0Social networks, instant messaging, e-mailing and others make it easy for children to keep in touch and communicate with lots of people. But if you think it is bordering on addiction or is making your child waste time, then it&#8217;s better for you to advise her to have a time limit every time she logs on <a href='https:\/\/www.eastinflatables.com.au\/e104018-giant-water-slide.html' style=\"color:  #696969;text-decoration: none\">waterslides to buy<\/a>.
