networking site. Social networking sites are websites that allow
individuals to connect with others with common interests or share
information via the internet. These websites have become very popular
over the years, not just for adults but for children as well. Some
social networking sites are specifically targeted for children and
tweens. The following sites are pretty popular among children (Gaia,

social networking site can be fun and have lots of benefits but
remember to share the following tips with the tweens in your life.
