This article really struck a chord with me, since I'm increasingly worried about my children growing up in a world that is fundamentally different from the one I grew up in. It's incredibly hard to make sure that children are not confronted with disturbing imagery and all the propaganda that is circulating online without the fully developed critical thinking of an educated adult. How do you go about making sure your children become responsible adults online?

I feel like with most things with kids, you just talk to them honestly and openly about things. I feel like, if they're old enough to ask, they're probably old enough to hear the answer.

This way they feel more comfortable asking you things. Because even if you lock down their devices air tight, they're friends parents probably didn't do the same. You can't protect your kids from the world but, you can prepare them to face it.
