In the Open

Theresa has a conversation with Dr. Tonya Battle (Battle Clinical Services) about the effects of cyberbullying on the youth. Dr. Battle explains the expanded access to the internet and social media and how that can morph into cyberbullying. They talk about having a conversation early with your children about personal responsibility and digital safety, appropriate ages for introducing phone usage and creating social media accounts plus finding information and resources if you feel like you need help navigating the internet with your children.
