Do you know what your kids are doing on their phone if you're the parent of a student in grades, four through nine you're, about to have your eyes wide open by the way? I know this isn't typically what I post on my youtube channel, but as a parent myself and with kids all around the country going back to school this week, I thought it was an incredibly important topic.

Stick around with the surge of violence all around our country and globally.

We have to wonder: is it related to what they're doing online well? I? Think that's debatable, but one thing I can tell you for absolute certain is that the more informed parents are about what their kids are actually doing, online, the better off we'll all be hi I'm, Kate Murray and if you're new here make sure you click that subscribe button, typically I post tutorials about how to turn your side hustle into a full-time income.

But today I am talking about 15 apps.

You should be monitoring if you're a parent.

Now don't tell me that you don't monitor your kids phone because it's their phone and you're giving them privacy.

That's great I, know you trust them, but if you're paying the phone bill, then you have every right to monitor what they're doing and one more thing before I begin.

If you think this is not happening in fourth grade you're wrong, how do I know this well before you roll your eyes and judge me.

Allow me to check my privilege at the door.

I have two students.

Both of them are straight-a students I do my best to teach them to be kind, compassionate people and believe me, as a parent I know that we want to protect their innocence as long as possible.

However, in fourth grade they know, what's up so know this, it's better for you to have difficult conversations with your children before they learn about things from other kids at school.

They might be connected with an older brother or sister through their iPad through apps on another tablet or device through free apps that you may have even heard of and worse they could be connected with people.

You don't even know, I'll tell you what I think we need to do in just a minute, but first, let's look at the 15 apps.

You should know about first up.

Think about it.

Does your 6th grader know what to do if they witness a conversation like this? If you think this only happens in urban areas, you're wrong, it's happening all across our country in our schools in our neighborhoods, but whose job is it to monitor? Is it the school's job, a school with 1,400 students, who's gonna, monitor, 1,400 phones, it's not their job, it's their job to educate! It's your job to monitor what your child is doing.

Do you know what apps your child is currently using? Let me know in the comments below Scout a location-based dating app.

That's supposed to prohibit people under 17 from sharing private photos, however, note that kids can easily create an account with a different age.

The last three are the most familiar to me: snapchat, which is one of the most popular social media apps in the world.

It allows users to take and share photos and videos.

It is completely out of your control number two that photo or video can be used against your child, so make sure your kids understand that make sure they are not posting anything incriminating online and make sure you know who they're connected to schools can educate your children about the dangers of interacting with and connecting with predators online.

But it's up to you as a parent to monitor what they're doing and who they're connected to.

So what else can you do well talk to your kids and put some rules into place in your household I can tell you that for my 6th and 7th grader, we put our phones down in the kitchen to charge every single night at 9 p.m.

that's.

It no phones until the next morning, this simple rule prevents your children from getting into any kind of mischief overnight, while the family is sleeping and the rule is the same.

Even when other children sleep over at our house, everybody's phone goes to the kitchen.

Putting some simple rules into place in your household will help you stay connected with what your child is doing online and if nothing else, Foster's some meaningful conversation.
