34. What age should my kids be before I let them use Instagram,

 ultimately up to you
 most social media websites and apps require that kids be 13 to sign up.
 Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which prevents companies from
collecting certain information from kids under 13.
 13 is generally the age when kids start developing a broader understanding of the world
around them and, along with that, a better sense of what's appropriate to share online.

51. . IMPORTANT!! In order to prevent your child from just turning safety mode off,
you must log out of your Google / YouTube account by clicking your
username link in the top right-hand corner of the browser window. This will
effectively lock the setting in for the browser you are using, preventing your
child from disabling Safety Mode. You will need to repeat this process for all
other web browsers that are on your computer (i.e. Firefox, Safari, etc).

52. Smartphones
• Don't let apps share data. Some apps want to use information stored on your phone
(your contact list, for example). Say no.
• Enable privacy settings on apps you download. Make sure your teens are using strict
privacy settings on services such as Instagram and Facebook.
• Be careful with social logins. When you log onto a site with your Facebook
or Google username and password, you may be allowing that app to access certain
information from your profile. Read the fine print to know what you're sharing.

57. CYBERBULLYING
• Talk about it before it happens
• Set rules and consequences
• Don’t reply, keep copies
• If you see cyberbullying, don’t be a silent bystander. Do
something!
• Involve the school and law enforcement if necessary.
• Don’t dismiss threats of violence or self-harm – report!
• Teach kids coping mechanisms when there’s “drama.”
