Episode description
Teenagers 'live' online and on social media. How can they reap the many benefits that social media can offer? There are plenty of them: an endless pool of knowledge and curiosity. But parents need to help them navigate the risk and threats online — of which there're also plenty.
On Big Ideas, we have a panel of experts with a plethora of valuable information, advice and resources.
Presented by the Raising Children Network and hosted at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute.
Check out the ABC TV series 'Role of a Lifetime' on iview with more details about parenting in the social media era.
