The world as we know it is evolving at a titanic rate, with the digital age having reached
it’s zenith.
1. Facebook default privacy settings are probably more public than you’d like. It guards the information on minors a little better than the general population, but one will still need to review one’s child’s privacy settings and manually reset it to
“friends only” or even stricter.

2. Sending a friend request to your child and getting accepted does not ensure that you can view all the posts or photographs that they display. Facebook allows its users to select which friends they want to
be able to see a particular post.

1. EXPLORE THE DIGITAL TEEN SCENE.3. By default, anyone can send friend request to your child, so
as parents one must help the child to edit the privacy settings under the “How to connect” heading, to restrict
unwanted friend requests.

2. KNOW YOUR PARENTAL CONTROL OPTIONS.
4. Users can “tag”, or identify, the faces in their photos. Turn on tag review in your child’s privacy settings and Facebook will notify them whenever they’re tagged in a photo before it
goes live. Facebook will remove the tag (but not the photo) if they request it.

3. SET A DIGITAL LIMIT.5. Facebook allows users to put their location on every post. Tell your child not to do this, and change their privacy settings
so their friends can’t check them in, either.

3. SET A DIGITAL LIMIT.6. If your child posts something and then has second thoughts, they can hover over the post and click the handy
little “X” that appears to delete it.

4. ADVISE YOUR CHILD ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY.
7. If your child lives in the U.S. and has their mobile phone in their Facebook account, all they have to do is text “otp” to
32665 and they will receive a one-time password that is good for 20 minutes. This is the safest way for them to log in to
Facebook from a public computer.

4. ADVISE YOUR CHILD ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY.
8. Facebook is home to thousands of third-party apps that your kids can use to play games . Before using any app on Facebook, your child has to agree to the app’s privacy policy that outlines what information it will collect on your child and how it will be used. Tell your child not to click “Allow” without
actually reading and understanding the privacy policy.

4. ADVISE YOUR CHILD ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY.
9. Facebook allows your child to remove offensive posts on their Wall, unfriend or block other users, or report posts that violate Facebook policies. As parents, one must be very open and candid in dealing with such situations; they should create an amicable environment at home so that whenever a child is in trouble, he/she can immediately approach his/her parents
without any hesitation.

10. Users can browse and post on each other’s walls, but they can also talk with friends in real-time using chat or video calling. Make sure they know how to mark themselves as
“unavailable” for chat or video calling while doing homework or during other inappropriate times.

11. Finally, parents must always remind their children that Facebook is a public and open forum, hence they should use it cautiously and refrain from divulging too many details about
their private lives.
