7 Safety with Communication Social Media Stick with age-appropriate sites. For kids 5-8, there are sites with strong safety features that help kids play without risking inappropriate content or contact.sites with strong safety features Your parents can sign you up by using their own Facebook accounts to create a profile for their kids on this Facebook-like site. Your parents can select your friends by searching for other students at your school, they can add family friends from their own Facebook profiles, and send e-mail invites. Children have access to selected YouTube videos, games, and creative projects. The site has other features that mirror Facebook, like the ability to "heart it," buy and send gifts using a virtual currency (the twist is that parents give the currency to their children free of cost as "allowance"), and share videos and other parts of the site with their friends.YouTube http://mashable.com/2010/10/11/social-networks-children/ Togetherville What’s What ScuttlePad giantHello Skid-e Kids
