Are Children’s Online Lives hurting their Social Skills?
Our children face a reality that parents of our generation never experienced: a whole social world lived via the internet. How can we as parents help them enjoy their online friendships while ensuring their – still developing – social skills don’t suffer in the process?

2- Leading by example and ensuring that email and txt messages are not disrupting our family time.
3- Ensure they spend time with their “real” friends.
