This book is about much more than naked photos of your children showing up online. Will your kid's social media accounts keep them out of that prestigious college? Will those naked photos on their cell phone that they didn't request land them in jail or get them charged with a felony? Are your tweens and teens buying fake I.D.'s on the dark web to get into dance clubs and buy alcohol? Will your child be, charged with manslaughter for bullying? If the person they bullied commits suicide, the answer is YES! Are your kids buying Drugs, like Molly or tainted Marijuana for parties on the Dark Web? Are things YOU post on social media about your children putting them in danger or affecting their future?
Are Your Kids Naked Online breaks, down the facts, from fiction and is, supported by academic research focused on technology. Showing the real issues in an objective balanced way without down playing the real dangers and consequences but also without fear mongering. The Goods end each chapter with a "What You Can Do" section that has tips and guidance for parents. Most of the chapters contain a real life story of how the technology today is really, impacting children and their families, and how it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, whether you live in a big city or a small town, what race or religion you are, the consequences that technology can have are indiscriminate.
Most children today know more than their parents do when it comes to technology. Which convinces many parents to take the parental path of least resistance, their hands thrown up in the air stating as if fact, "What's the use, they know more about technology than I do. They already have access, so it's too late. I can't do anything about what they do online, hopefully it will be okay." This is not true. It's not hopeless. There are options, and you need a plan.
Knowing what the options are, what would work best for your family, and developing, a strategy is perhaps, one of the most challenging, aspects of parenting in today's digital world. Are Your Kids Naked Online provides guidance from technology experts on how to build a plan to protect your kids from online self-destruction.
