John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Parental Genius

Parental Genius!!

I wonder if young people will ever figure out what we adults did to them on Facebook?

Early on we hand-wrung, threatened, even took down our children’s Facebook pages to protect them from stalkers, bullying and time-wasting.

But nothing worked.

Finally, in a brilliant stroke of parenting genius, we switched to a final and dramatic strategy.

We decided —without our children suspecting—to take over Facebook by using it ourselves until our children no longer believed Facebook was cool.

After just a few years into this brilliant and bold move it is working beyond parent’s wildest dreams.
