What to Expect in This Course

The Buckling the Social Media Seatbelt Supercourse

Every time your child logs onto social media they are at risk from a number of social media-related dangers like cyberbullying, depression and suicide, hate speech, sexting, and human trafficking, to name just a few.  And many children are averaging over 5 hours a day on social media!

Previously, parents had to go hunting and pecking around the internet or rely on the parent rumor mill to learn how to keep their child safe on social media.  No more.

With the Buckling the Social Media Seatbelt course, parents can learn -- for the first time in one place -- a comprehensive system to keep their child safe on social media.  During the course you will learn from the experts in social media safety -- what social media safety conversations to have with your child, what safety rules to set, and how to calibrate the settings for your devices and social media apps.

It is fabulous. I feel the content and message is something that all parents should be required to participate in prior to their child entering either 4th grade or middle school.

As a parent and educator, I value greatly OFSMS' online course offerings. Being able to learn from OFSMS' experienced and thoughtful team serves as a guidepost in navigating the increasingly complex social media landscape. Thank you for all that you do.

This course was very necessary as a parent, and it really opened my eyes as to how naive I truly am when it comes to social media and kids. I have 11.5 year-old twins and I "thought" I knew a lot about social media and the risks. Boy, was I wrong. It's really frightening actually. After taking this course, I have secured my phone and my kids' phones to protect them from what madness is out there. Thank you for this eye-opening course.
