Struggling to manage your children’s online activities? An Illinois author is here to help.

Chicago based author Devorah Heitner writes that, rather than trying to micromanage their kids online lives, “parents should shift their focus from consequences to building character, helping their kids figure out who they really are, and teaching them to respect their own privacy and reputation by modeling that respect for them.” Heitner is the author of Growing up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World.
