Recently, Disney purchased a social network website called Togetherville. It is another website similar to that of facebook, but is only for children ages 10 and below and incorporates parent and children interaction. This means that parents can easily control their child's accounts, watch what they post, and so on. It seems parents can even distribute a kind of virtual allowance to their children online.
I think its a good idea to start showing kids around that age how to interact and communicate online safely. Social media and online networking is no longer a fad, but something that is becoming a huge part of our life.
Sure it is sad to see parents giving their children allowances with virtual currency and gifts. I mean, whatever happened to parents taking their kids to the zoo, or Chuck E Cheese's?
