Ever heard your kids say things like, "Man, that girl's body count is crazy," or "can we Netflix and chill this weekend?"

It's okay to have concerns about social media networks, especially if your kids constantly obsess about them.

The internet has significantly affected the rate kids pick and use slang. These days we hear our kids say things like “on fleek,” “clap back,” and “No cap” when conversing.
