Let Your Tween Be Your Tour Guide!
Activity: Ask your child to help you explore some of the social media platforms that they either use or are curious about themselves.
Download one of the platforms and take a tour of it with your tween. Even if they don’t have their own social media accounts, you might be surprised at how much they know! Let them be the expert. You will gain insight into how they relate with social media.
