Managing Your Child's Social Media

A parent's practical guide to every platform

Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram and Discord, account by account. Know exactly what to set, watch and discuss for each.

Social media is not going away — and nor is your child's desire to be part of it. Whether your child is already on TikTok, begging for Instagram, or secretly using platforms you've never heard of, this course gives you the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to navigate it all. Platform by platform, setting by setting, conversation by conversation. You will finish this course knowing exactly what your child sees online, how to configure every major platform's privacy controls, how to have conversations that actually land, and how to build a family culture around social media that protects your child without pushing them away.
