"'It's a different world now, and parents have to get used to it,' the author said in an interview. 'Kids' social life is online, now and you can't take that away from them you have to manage it.' The book offers parents a way to do just that with simple tips such as placing computers in a common area, setting limits for time spent online and using sites like MySpace and Facebook themselves to glean a clearer understanding of what kids experience."Rosen believes kids' online presence is a great way for them to develop their own identity, as it allows them to express themselves in a lower risk environment.
