It’s My Life - A great website for kids!
It’s my life is a great website for pre-teens and teens produced by PBS. If your child is entering into the very weird world of teenage life, you as a parent are probably noticing that your child, your sweet innocent, lovable child, is now turning into a monster and suddenly not talking to you. You will hear them on the phone talking with their friends, but the minute you come into the room, they clam up and hang up the phone. They are doing a lot of hiding in their rooms, talking on IM on the computer, and generally acting miserable. Have they told you “it’s my life – leave me alone?”
This teenage affliction affects both a boy and a girl. Girls tend to have a harder time, frankly because they are meaner to each other than boys sometimes are. If your teenager suddenly refuses to talk to you, and you want to make sure they are getting accurate information about everything they think is important, try sending them to this site, it’s my life.com. Don’t let them think you recommended it though, or they will never look at it. A sneaky way to do it might be to put the It’s my life site up on the computer and then walk away for them to find it. Don’t let them know you know it’s there.
It’s my life is a great website to answer questions that your teenager may have. Its main headings include: Friends, Family, School, Body, Emotions and Money. Once you click onto one of these headings, you will find other subheadings, which include: games, video, advice and celebs. Let’s say you pick the heading in It’s my life called friends. Once you get into that area, your teenager can choose advice. In this arena, they can post a question to others and get their opinions. In the celebs area they can read articles on how famous teenagers deal with friendships. There are also games to be played in that area as well.
It’s my life has a lot of advice to offer teens with assurance to you the parent, that it is factual and not harmful to them in any way. If you as the parent are clueless on how your teenager now thinks, this is also a great way for you to get into their heads, without having to try and pull the information out of them. It’s my life helps parents learn to read our kids by body language and things they say or do, to help protect them from themselves.
