Digital Smarts - Sexting Explained

You are here

Sexting is becoming more and more normalized in the media, with the consequences often minimized, but in real life the aftermath is usually far from normal or desirable. How can you get your kids to understand this?  Telling them not to do it doesn't really help them when the culture of social media forces them to face different types of social situations. A new guide on the subject - written for teens, but just as useful to parents - is now available as a free download from Common Sense Media. Entitled “Send me a naked pic? ;) …”“Promise not to share?”  it is definitely worth a look, before or after a sexting incident occurs.
