Navigating the many pitfalls and traps of social media apps and online messaging is a skill that the majority of us developed well into our adulthood. We have had the luxury of learning social etiquette and emotional literacy through face-to-face relationships growing up, needing only to tweak this understanding to be able to thrive within the ecosystems of social media platforms and more recently mobile applications. 

Our children have not had this luxury and as a result they are vulnerable.
