Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about creating and maintaining a virtual backyard vs. one in the real, natural world. What kind of features -- or creatures -- would your yard have? Families can also discuss what information is appropriate to include in member profiles, and parents can remind kids not to give away too much personal information.
