Moms Talk: How Young is Too Young for Facebook?

Moms Talk is a new feature on Berkley Patch that is part of our initiative to reach out to families in our community.

We invite you and your circle of friends to help build support for parents in Berkley and Huntington Woods.

Each week in Moms Talk Q&A, our local Moms Council of experts and been-there-done-that moms and dads take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the hundreds of other issues that arise while raising children.

Do you know of local moms raising their children in the Tiger Mother's way and is it the best way? Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How do we talk to our children about the Arizona shootings? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a few questions from Libby Turpin, a Patch reporter and mom of three kids in the :

I wonder when is too early to let your kids have a Facebook account? How do you monitor it? Whom do you allow them to friend? How long can they be on?
