Digital Natives

Parents who grew up before the age of the Digital Native find it almost impossible to make sense of the online world in which their Digital Native children live.
Those children watch videos, take interests, share content, find friends, and experience the world - all in an online space.

Understanding Your Kids Online

TrendSmart™ is the bridge between you and your child's online world. The internet is how your children explore the world. Like it or not, for better or worse, the internet is how your children define themselves. The better you understand what they are looking at and why, the better equipped you will be to define your involvement as a parent. It is important to understand that what is valued by teens in the online world is what defines their place in the physical world.
