Our children and social media guidance and protection

The reason that pushed me to write this book is what I have observed in my surroundings, and what I have seen on the internet of the confusion of parents and mothers, indeed the confusion of all people in how to deal with the mobile phone, iPad, computer, and television, and how to deal with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and many others... They find some benefits in them, and they feel some of their harms, and they are truly confused in evaluating this and that, but everyone realizes that they are no longer choosing between keeping them at home or removing them; these means and sites have become part of their lives. They are like the bed, pillow, refrigerator, chair, and spoon... even their attachment to them is much stronger; because one does not get addicted to holding a spoon in their hand, but many of us have become addicted to holding the mobile phone in hand, opening it every five minutes, or more, or less... Here in this book, I aspire to improve the awareness of dear readers about this new phenomenon, and guide them to the best ways to deal with it, hoping that I have contributed here to helping people — especially parents — to make the best use of social media sites and tools, alongside protecting their young from its harms and dangers.
