A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or
other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue
deceptive online romances.

NORMS
• Give parents and other adults a pep talk about their own social media use.
• What else do we do as part of our jobs that impacts the norms in our community?
• Post it. Put it on FB, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Linkedin, etc…

Rules & Enforcement
• What advice do you have to offer families on internet “access” issues?
• Do they have any established rules? Can you offer them examples?
• Are their consequences realistic, and will they know how to enforce them?
• Will they have any alternative activities for your kids if they lose their “screen time?” Can you suggest any?
• Be the resource!

Access
• Access to negative behaviors also includes all of the other activities and programs we initiate as coalition leaders…
• Compliance checks
• Vendor education
• Parents Who Host
• Etc…

In conclusion… There is a world out there that we, as parents and coalition
leaders, need to know about
This brave, new world is full of opportunity. Both positive and negative.
Times are NOT the same as they were “back when we were kids.”
Spoken English has essentially become a second language to many teens today
There are as many resources to HELP parents and coalition leaders as there are for teens to get into trouble on the internet
Google, Urban Dictionaries, and YouTube can be your BFF
Parents are still the most influential force in your children’s lives. Part of our jobs is setting up those parents to win.
