For all those who say that they are friends with their kid on facebook... how do you know that what you see is actually their only facebook account? I'm asking in all seriousness... because I think the rule is a good one, but it seems to me that any kid who wants to get around that rule would very easily make two accounts. My DS is only 3, so I haven't really confronted this issue yet, but it has me stressed.[/QUOTE]
While that's always a possibility, with my daughter I honestly don't believe she would bother. She is on the quiet side and never posts anything herself. But like you said, kids can always find a way if they want to get around the rules. One thing that helps is that we don't allow any computers upstairs, only in common family areas. That doesn't solve what they do at friend's houses, etc. I also had to make a rule of no computers if they wake up first in the morning or if I run to the store. But then I'm trusting them to follow the rules, no guarantee. It's not easy!
