What can I do right now? The people who know best about what your children are up to online, are your children! Get them to tell you about the sites they’re using. Ask them questions such as:  Why do they like the site?  What can they do on it?  What’s so fun about it?  Who uses it at school?  Who you can talk to?  Who are their friends on it?
