Questions to Start Conversations with Students

• How many apps do you think you use to communicate with or follow people on social media, and which do you use most often? Why?
• What do you like about social media in general? 
• How good do you think your friends are at trying to keep things light and upbeat in their posts? Do you think that matters?

Conclusion

Social media is full of pros and cons, especially for kids. The sooner you initiate an open dialogue with your kids about their choices and experiences on social media, the more likely they are to be open in discussing some of the downsides they might encounter.
