[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 176266, member: 805"] Tough one. I don't believe there is a generic answer. I think, whether easy child or difficult child, you have to make the choice based on your child's ability to distingish fantasy from reality and their level of savy. In this day and time, that technology is [B]their[/B] technology, not ours. I don't understand it because I would never put myself out there and would never share private, personal things with folks other than family and very close friends. However, it's all about networking, being cool, and being in. I really believe that if you put protective measures in place (keystrock monitor if you suspect your child cannot follow the guidelines or gives you reason to suspect, knowing their email and password) it's another way for our difficult children to "fit in" socially. If you have a child that has abused the internet, not followed the rules, or crossed "the line", I wouldn't hesitate to deny access for a given amout of time. Just my two cents. Sharon [/QUOTE]
