Sexting, cyberbullying, revenge porn, online predators...all of these potential threats can tempt parents to snatch the smartphone or tablet out of their children's hands. While avoidance might eliminate the dangers, that approach also means your child misses out on technology's many benefits and opportunities.

• developing social-emotional skills

Sexting, cyberbullying, la venganza del porno, depredadores en línea... todas estas amenazas potenciales pueden tentar a los padres a arrebatar de las manos de sus hijos, el teléfono inteligente o la tableta.
