Recent research found that 40 percent of kids lack strong emotional bonds with their parents (source: The Chronicle). It's a startling figure, especially since we know that strong parent-child communication is linked to less risky behaviors, particularly in the teenage years. So how do you balance a teen's growing desire for privacy with your responsibility to keep them safe? According to our Director of Core Technology and Academia, Tom Farrell, it's simple -- get talking. Open, honest and frequent communication is one of the simplest and most effective things you can do as a parent to educate your kids about online safety risks. It also builds the foundation for them to come to you if they encounter tricky situations or make a mistake.
