In
this
 digital age, social network plays a fundamental role in the life of youngsters.
As a result
, many fathers and mothers believe that they should accompany with their kids on social networks. In my opinion, I partly agree with
this
 point of view On the one hand, there are several reasons why parents should not become the friends of children on social
network
Suggestion
networking
.
Firstly
, the privacy of kids is supposed to be respected by the family.
This
 is because parents are often felt to be strict to the post and statuses on the Internet of the children;
therefore
, the virtual way of life of youngsters will become uncomfortable and there might be conflicts between family members.
Moreover
, parents are believed to be extremely busy in
this
 digital age.
This
 means that they may have to finish a huge amount of workload on the Internet. Henceforth, the parents would not have enough time for social networks or being friends with their kids.
On the other hand
, some methods can be taken into consideration about making friends with the kids without the need of social network sites.
First
 and foremost, parents may spend a precious time after school talking to
theirs
of them or themselves
their
 kids.
This
 is due to the fact that children are more likely to obey their parents in direct communication.
Furthermore
, the habits of a child are expected to be concerned

 the family members, meaning that they can make friends with the kids by playing with them, as well as strengthening the family relationship. In conclusion, while many fathers and mothers think that they have to be the kids’ friends
