The issue with parenting in the digital age is that it moves at the speed of light, and kids are at the very forefront of it. They know about the[ latest apps ](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/what-parents-need-to-know-about-the-secret-sharing-app-whisper)weeks, perhaps months before you do, and they are quietly discussing who-knows-what with their friends via texting apps and Facebook messenger. The age of being able to eavesdrop on a conversation and get all the knowledge you ever needed is over.

While those days are over, we’ve developed a new way to[ keep up with our kids](https://www.uknowkids.com/), and digital parents need digital weapons. With that being said, kids are starting to get a bit wise to the ways of the digital parent.

Unwelcome sexting, abusive text messages, digital public humiliation and social media harassment all fall under the umbrella of **cyberbullying**. The sobering realities of cyberbullying have become so prevalent that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) published a "Cyberbullying and Sexting: Law Enforcement Perceptions" bulletin advising agencies that "94 percent of school resource officers agreed that cyberbullying was a serious problem warranting a law enforcement response."

In recent years, the news media coverage has exploded with tragic stories and consequences of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is defined as bullying that occurs over electronic devices, often through texting, email or through social media websites [such as Facebook.](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/what-is-facebook) Bullies can send hurtful messages to other children, post embarrassing pictures of their peers on facebook, or send hateful email messages.

 Cyberbullying [takes on the same form as face to face bullying](https://www.bark.us/blog/how-cyberbullying-is-different/?utm_source=uknowkids&utm_medium=uknowkids-blog&utm_campaign=understanding-cyberbullying). The cyberbully will have a clear intent to harm the victim (either emotionally or by threatening them with physical harm), perceivable aggression in the messages, and a perceived or obvious imbalance of power over the victim by the cyberbully.

The abuse that children endure at the hands of cyberbullies leave many [parents, teachers, and guardians](https://www.bark.us/blog/parents-schools-cyberbullying/?utm_source=uknowkids&utm_medium=uknowkids-blog&utm_campaign=understanding-cyberbullying) wondering what causes the bullying to happen in the first place.

It is not surprising that teens and parents often experience power struggles over digital rules and privileges. Teens are often given such high responsibility with technology at such[ young ages](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/bid/159113/20-Percent-of-Third-Graders-Own-Cell-Phones-Sexting-issue), that it is natural that there are going to be some problems. Digital rule-breaking is still a relatively new avenue of parenting that requires specific attention and action.

The impact on every aspect of a child's life can be far reaching. With the digital age, many kids don't just have to worry about being bullied in the schoolyard. Instead, with the technology available today, bullies can reach our kids at school, after school, and even in their own bedrooms. With smart phones, computers, tablets, and cell phones, bullies are able to reach into a child's life and affect every aspect of it. Bullying and cyberbullying are no longer a simple matter of standing up to the bully and having a face-off. It's no longer a simple matter.

The threats of identity theft, iCloud hacking, stalking and harassment are very real in the digital age. Thus, safeguarding your children from the perils posed by new technology has become part and parcel of modern day parenting.

The troubling aspect of this necessity is that the technologies are constantly evolving, making it imperative to stay up-to-date and knowledgeable on digital defense. Luckily, Apple is consistently making [iPhone monitoring for parents](https://www.bark.us/guides/app-management-apple-screen-time?utm_source=uknowkids&utm_medium=uknowkids-blog&utm_campaign=iphone-monitoring) much more accessible and easier to accomplish.

You’ve heard countless news stories highlighting instances of [kids and social media gone wrong](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/daughter-of-police-sergeant-victim-in-sexting-scandal). Headlines about young teens getting involved in cyberbullying, sexting, identity theft and online predator catastrophes practically populate the Internet. Whether you have only heard the buzz about these dangers from afar or personally know a victim, it’s clear that there is a lot going on in the social media world that can wreak havoc on a child’s life.

By all accounts, social media will continue to be [a risk](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/social-media-and-distorted-teen-body-image) to inexperienced tweens, especially since kids are jumping on the social network bandwagon at younger and younger ages every year. It’s about time that safety precautions catch up with this digital danger!

The solution is for parents to become proactive instead of being reactive when it comes to their kids and social media.

In a [Huffington Post](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tony-loftis/digital-parenting-tips_b_2946396.html) article, uKnow’s Co-founder Tim Woda asks a simple question – “Do you know who your child made friends with on Facebook yesterday?". Mr. Woda speaks of a very personal experience involving his son’s abduction after accepting a friend-request from an unknown [Internet sexual predator](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/bid/159233/Warning-Signs-of-Grooming-by-an-Internet-Predator).  

He goes on to say that parenting skills have just not been able to keep up with advancing technology and even though it isn’t our fault, it’s certainly our problem. Let’s take a look at some situations that may give us a better understanding of obstacles that make digital parenting more challenging:

**Understanding The Generation Gap**

Young children can get into just as much trouble online as their parents. In fact, young children may be more in danger because they do not necessarily know the boundaries of what they should and should not do. Therefore, Internet security should be a primary concern for any parent with a young child. 

**Keeping Children Away From Sensitive Information** 

[Vodaphone.com](http://www.vodafone.com/content/parents/get-started.html) recommends the following for children under the age of 5: 

**KEEP** devices like your mobile out of reach and make sure you have passwords/PINs set up on them for the times you might lend them to your child... or for when they simply get hold of them themselves!

It is too easy for a child to start crawling through your [personal information](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/teens-overshare-chat-with-strangers-online-more-than-you-think) and data if they are able to access your phone without having to enter a pin. It is simply the safest to keep those devices locked up and out of reach.

Are you the parent of a teenager? If so, chances are that you know the struggle of trying to keep them safe while also letting them live their life. That is what so many parents have to worry about these days. It is even harder when it comes to broaching Internet security and knowing how to approach disciplining them in the age of information.

Here are some easy digital parenting mantras that will make your job a little easier:

**1. You Are The Parent**

The bottom line when it comes to keeping children safe online is to remember that you are the parent and are in control. You get to [set the rules](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/digital-parenting-how-to-proactively-enforce-your-rules) for your children, and they are to obey those rules. You can make sure that the rules are fair to them while at the same time maintaining their safety. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, that is what you are supposed to be doing as the parent.

**2. The Internet is a Privilege, Not a Right**

In the same vein, kids and teens might need to periodically be reminded that their Internet use is a privilege granted to them, not a right. From their persepctive, [widespread Internet access](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/5-ways-to-stay-secure-on-public-wi-fi-networks) has been available to them for as long as they can remember. For this reason, it can be easy for teens, tweens and even young kids to feel entitled to have continuous Internet access from their phones or other digital devices.

Even though many parents understand that they should use parental controls on their home computer, many never establish a means for getting the job done.  According to a [McAfee survey](http://www.businesswire.com/news/mcafee/20120625005107/en/70-Teens-Hide-Online-Behavior-Parents-McAfee), most parents left their kids alone while surfing the internet and over half the parents surveyed didn’t know if their kids had a social networking account, like Facebook. [Another study](http://www.cox.com/wcm/en/aboutus/datasheet/takecharge/2009-teen-survey.pdf?campcode=takecharge-research-link_2009-teen-survey_0511) indicated that approximately 72 percent of teens do have social networking profiles and almost half of them are public profiles viewable by anyone.

Parents must realize that Internet security is needed across multiple devices. With the advancements in technology, children have Internet access on smartphones, iPads, tablets and other mobile devices. Mobile technology can expose children to not only the good, but also all of the bad on the Internet.

Personal monitoring of mobile devices isn’t always possible since kids use them on the way to school and even while school is in session.  Many school systems around the country are experimenting with pilot programs using [mobile learning](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/3-fantastic-reading-apps-that-integrate-screen-time-with-learning-time) with the goal of replacing textbooks and other coursework with technology. Both parents and school administrators will need to make sure they use the technologies available to make these mobile devices safer and more child-friendly both at home and at school.

[Social media](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/social-media-and-distorted-teen-body-image) is a little bit like driving a car. If used properly it is a wonderful tool to accomplish good or add enjoyment to your life. If used improperly however, it can not only be dangerous, it can be a weapon. Parents need to be aware of the impact their influence can have not only on their children's day to day lives but on their future as well.

In this day and age, with few exceptions, there is no keeping[ teens and social media](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/bid/249856/Parental-Intelligence-for-Social-Media) apart from one another.

Ask the average parent about what their child did on the [social networking sites](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/bid/323345/8-Scary-Social-Networking-Sites-Every-Parent-Should-Know) just last night, and they are probably going to have no idea.

**Getting Into The Lives Of Your Children** 

It may sound like exactly the wrong tactic to use, but just getting into the online lives of your child or children is actually the first step to take to make a difference. Many parents are hesitant to do so fearing the backlash from their child.

Texting has quickly become one of the primary forms of communication in the world today. There is a lot of focus on the negative forms of texting like [texting while driving](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/it-can-wait-calls-for-new-etiquette-to-avoid-texting-driving), texting at the[ dinner table ](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/study-suggests-more-family-dinners-to-combat-cyberbullying)or texting while a parent is trying to have a conversation with their child. Even though there are a lot of negatives associated with texting there are several positive things that texting can be used for. 

**Interacting With the Community**

Schools have started embracing [text messages](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/in-defense-of-texting-my-favorite-parenting-tool) to notify parents of certain events happening at the school. Parents are also able to quickly exchange texts with other parents, sports coaches, and other community leaders easily and efficiently.

Times are quickly changing. Kids are facing a world with more [access to global information](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/too-much-tech-preventing-digital-addiction-in-your-tween-to-teen) and communication thanks to a number of technological advances and the development of various [social networking sites](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/the-guidebook-for-the-social-networking-site-twitter) and app connections. Cyberspace has afforded today's youth with the availability of digital communication and sharing, among other activities.

There are obviously many pros and cons concerning these advances, but the facts speak for themselves; youth use computers and mobile phones more today than they have ever done and at increasingly [younger age ranges](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/bid/159113/20-Percent-of-Third-Graders-Own-Cell-Phones-Sexting-issue). Discussions on mobile and Internet safety are important in ensuring a safe and positive experience for your child and others.  

Check out these 7 simple things you can do as a parent to teach and enforce Internet and mobile safety:

1. **Set tech time limits.** By [setting limits](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/5-methods-to-limit-screen-time-in-your-home) to the amount of time your child spends on the phone or computer, you are also setting boundaries. Multiple studies show that [too much time spent with technology](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/is-technology-harming-my-teens-physical-and-mental-health) can lead to poor social, physical, and mental health. Limiting cyber time keeps a child from becoming too involved online and can also enable them to develop a more balanced relationship with technology in the future. You may consider implementing [tech-free zones](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/what-are-tech-free-zones-and-are-they-right-for-my-family) in your house, which establish clear times and places where tech is permitted to be used.

No parent wants to imagine their child as a bully but the sad fact is that it happens sometimes. When you first find out it’s your tween doing the bullying, it can be a bit devastating. Upon learning something like this, parents must take a few minutes to gather their thoughts and create a plan of action to help the offender see the error of their ways. 

It’s important to realize that being a bully doesn’t make your child a bad person or you a bad [parent](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/bid/291811/Parents-Changes-In-The-Digital-World). However, cyberbullying is serious and something that you must deal with immediately. Don’t ignore the problem and hope it will go away on its own because things normally get worse without intervention.

Talk to your child about the situation but be calm when you do and don't let your emotions get the better of you. It's important to focus all of your attention on your child, not on your own anger or disappointment. It's imperative to to learn what is going on in youd kid's mind and determine what is motivating them to be a bully. [Understanding why it’s happening](https://resources.uknowkids.com/blog/understanding-cyberbullying-why-it-happens-and-how-to-prevent-it) will help you find ways to deal with the problem.
