Texting/Posting on Social Media Platforms

Parents,

More and more Lower School children these days have devices (iPads, tablets, iPhones, etc) and use them to communicate with their peers across several platforms including iMessage, Roblox, YouTube, and Minecraft. We encourage families to start having conversations early about appropriate technology use and online communication. Before children press send or post messages online, it may be helpful for them to THINK about these things:

It may also be helpful to help children understand that communication is most effective face to face. A good rule of thumb is, "If you wouldn't say it to them in person, don't say it through a text (or other online platform)."

We hope to share more resources with parents over the coming weeks about navigating and parenting in the ever-changing world of technology.

Thank you,

Carrie Brown
