Flip the Script
Reminder: Don’t always be the first to identify possible pitfalls and their solutions.
If your tween comes to you asking for a social media account, you might immediately start thinking about all the things that you need to caution them against. Why not give them a chance to demonstrate responsibility, and flip the script. Ask your tween, “What are some of the things we should talk about and plan for before we set up an account for you?”
