How do I Know when My Child is Ready for Social Media?

Social media, some parents view it with caution, others cannot live without it. When it comes to our tweens and teens, most of them want to get a slice of the action. But how do we ensure our children are equipped to handle potential pitfalls of the online world? How do we know when they are truly ready? Join our host, Aaron Ng, who chats with June Yong, a mother of 3 children. Drawing from experiences with her eldest 13 year old daughter, June shares practical tips of guiding our children in their social media journey. From discovering their motivations to parents actively being regular sounding boards, June hopes to create protective buffers as her children enter the social media world. --- At Focus on the Family Singapore, we believe that every difficult parent-child relationship can turn the corner.
