Parenting in this century has taken a whole different track from when I was growing up. When I was a kid we spent more time outside playing in the sunshine with almost no time inside. These days, more kids are spending more and more time with their noses buried in screens. But with this new era of entertainment comes influences some parents may not want their kids exposed to. There are a few apps out there that parents should be aware of and kids should steer clear of.
When I was growing up, we had to be hyper-aware of strangers. While we spent a lot of time outside, there was always the danger of running into someone not so nice. These days, that danger and other dangers lurk in a few apps that are often times popular with kids.
