This book provides a positive look at how parents and their children can navigate online communities.It focuses on MySpace generation - MySpace is the 4th most popular English language website with over 86 million members and counting. It is written by a mediagenic author who has appeared on CNN and Good Morning America and has been featured in dozens of publications ranging from "Newsweek" to "USA Today". It is a major national study which includes Rosen's findings after interviewing over 1500 MySpacers and their parents. It highlights how young people have mastered multi-tasking and new forms of community. Reassuring in tone, Rosen reveals that negative aspects of MySpace have been blown out of proportion-for most kids it is simply a way to build friendships and community.With his extensive background in both child development and the impact of technology, Dr. Rosen uses down-to-earth explanations of sound psychological theory, incorporates groundbreaking research, and shows parents and educators how social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook can improve adolescent socialization skills.
Instead of using scare tactics, the book shows parents how to be proactive and anticipate potential problems.
