It's not the best practice to get directly involved in your child's social media post or the post of his friends; by imposing yourself, your values and your opinion on the post or even in face to face encounters and conflicts.
It is always good to use what you see and hear, to start a conversation with your child. You being the adult, should use your experience and communication skills to guide your child's thoughts and the conversation on the matter.
A good parent must even entertain their child's disagreement with their point of view on the matter. Disagreement with an authority is based on a lack of knowledge, and a lack of understanding of the information available.
Don't ever deny your child of the opportunity to develop as and individual, by learning how to process information and dealing with problem; by your personal involvement. Your role as a parent is to teach and not to dictate. Always give your child a truthful and valuable reason, why they should or should not do a particular thing.
We tend to forget that making mistakes is a healthy and a very necessary part of grow and development. Making mistakes, even making the same mistakes several times is okay. It is not a sign of stupidity. We often assume we know what the child is thinking in their efforts. We don't. What we must therefore do is to be there and be ready to celebrate the accomplishment of the task.
This helps a child to learn how to stick to a task and how to follow instructions. These are key elements that is required in life in general and life as a member of society
Remember, a child can and will only be able to deal with situation base on his or her understands. They can only deal with a situation as they understands it base on their knowledge, their understanding, their values and their desire to get involved.
Don't ever forget the primary goal of parenting, which is to create a socially healthy individual, who eventually becomes better at living, decision making and parenting than you were.
When you in your capacity as parent get involved in every scrabble or unhealthy conversation, your child get into; or is asking to participate in; you deny that child the opportunity to grow. You have to be a parent, not a fool. A parent creates opportunity for growth and experience; a fool kill those opportunity
