timsmom3 @timsmom3 (21) • United States 30 Jul 12

timsmom3 With parental supervision... sure. I allow my kids to use my accounts and they are 7 and 10. That is how we communicate with relatives we don't talk to very often. We play games together for bonding time and educational purposes. They are learning how to use...

Children and facebook

I watched something on television last night about technology in the modern family and was shocked to hear that children as young as 6 are been given permission from their parents to use facebook! Not only were they allowed a...

timsmom3 A site is only bad when the child has free run to use it and no supervision. My boys are 7 and 10, and they use facebook to keep in touch with family that is far away and to play games. We use the games as educational opportunities. Several games on Facebook...
