Help Kids Post, Comment, and Upload Responsibly. As tweens and teens start sharing content and engaging with others online, it’s important for them to understand the tracks they’re leaving behind and what those tracks might reveal. Parents can help guide kids toward creating the kind of footprint they can be proud of. Read all about it in this month’s blog at Common Sense Media.
