Hi All,My 14 year old son has created his account on facebook with a promise of using is sometimes and just to be connected with his friends and cousins but recently I have observed him spending most of his time on facebook ignoring studies and even his playing time, when me or my husband tries to stop him he act very aggressively and talks back. Please suggest how I should handle this situation?

Hi Amita, This is a major concern of most parents these days. You will need to become strict about it and set a time limit as well as fix a time slot in the day when he can sit on FB. While you can't totally take it away from him, work out the best possible solution for it after discussing it out. Also, children resent parents spying and following them on FB so figure out a way where you can monitor his activities discreetly.
