You’ve established rules for your tween for when he or she’s at home, school or a friend’s house, but you also need to set clear rules for when your child is online. If you haven’t yet, don’t worry. But do take the time to jot down the guidelines your tween must follow for when he or she is on the Internet, or engaged in texting or other forms of social media.

Be sure to edit or add to the document as necessary for your specific situation or family challenges.
