Forget sex, drugs, and rock & roll - today's parents have to deal with cyberbullying, cyberstalking, sexting, internet addiction, and exposure to porn and other inappropriate online content. Fortunately, expert researcher Dr. Megan Moreno has written this book as a guide to help teach kids balance and boundaries when it comes to internet and media use. Respectful of the needs of both children and adults, Sex, Drugs 'n Facebook is the smart parent's guide to raising cybersensible kids.Back by a team of researchers funded by a $2.5 million NIH grant, Sex, Drugs 'n Facebook provides a clear toolkit for teaching young people how to avoid the dangers of the internet while taking advantage of its full potential. Written with the insight of teens and college-age students, and peppered throughout with real-life stories and case histories, the book is grounded in the real experience young people have had using the internet.Whether readers are parents, educators, or concerned relatives, this book shows them how to have productive conversations with young people about issues such as sexting, cyberbullying, online porn, and more. Age-specific recommendations let readers tailor the advice to pre-teen, teen, or college age children. The solution-focused table of contents will appeal to people who have already experienced some of the pitfalls of the internet in their family, because it will allow concerned adults to zero in on the problem - and the solution.The book will also appeal to adults who are simply concerned about the internet's potential dangers, and it will prepare them to have "the talk" - but not about sex, about cybersafety and appropriate internet use. A section also shows readers how to adapt this information for teaching groups or creating a curriculum.The book is easy to use, and includes helpful photos of screen shots and real-life scenes. Each chapter includes real-life case studies with analysis of how readers can apply the lessons learned from these situations in their own home.
