The Secret Language Of Teens & Tweens : Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of our post about the Secret Language of Teens & Tweens. Check out Part 1 from last week here.

If You See Questionable Text Messages Or Anything Else Alarming, What Should You Do?

As teens and tweens start to have more independence and are finding their own way, it can be difficult to know where to set the boundaries, where to monitor closely, where to allow more freedom, and where to step in and handle things as the authority figure in their lives. But if you see a secret message or anything on their devices or in their message history that gives you cause for concern, speak to them. Let them know that what they put out there on social media, or even in messages to friends, can come back to haunt them later in life.
