Ten Facebook tips for parents, from Dr. Patel


At 19th street Dental, we are well-aware that thousands of parents tend to sign up for Facebook accounts and ‘friend’ their children, often as a way to keep an eye on their online activities. But many parents in this digital age are still lost when it comes to monitoring their kids online, often stepping over boundaries. Late last year, parenting specialist Vicki Courtney wrote a helpful post on the things parents should and shouldn’t do while surfing through their kids’ Facebook profiles. We came across her article, “Top Ten Facebook No-Nos for Parents” recently and thought you might benefit from reading Vicki’s interesting piece.

The article is designed specifically for those moms and dads who aren’t sure whether they’ve crossed the line in monitoring their kids’ presence online. Dr. Patel and our team hope you find this article informational. Please let us know what you think!
