-“Apps to Keep Children Safe Online May be Counterproductive” :

How Parental-Control Apps May be Counterproductive Mobile apps designed to help parents keep children safe from online predators may breed distrust and reduce children’s ability to respond to online threats.

 “Teens, and even younger children, told us loudly and clearly that they would rather their parents talk to them than use parental control apps,” Ghosh said. “Not because they wanted to get away with something bad, but because they wanted their parents’ trust and respect.”
Wisniewski added, “The more fearful we are as parents the more tightly we tend to hold on. In some cases, that can mean our children are not learning how to manage risk on their own.”

Kudos to Taraji P. Henson for speaking out on mental health in the African American community today!
